What color is Benjamin Moore Burgess Green?
Benjamin Moore Burgess Green CW-485 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and soft yellow-olive undertones. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading like a bright botanical green; instead, it has the quiet, chalky look of weathered foliage. In warm daylight, the yellow undertone may come forward slightly, while cooler or shadowed rooms can make it appear more silvery and subdued. Use Burgess Green on bedroom or living room walls for a grounded backdrop, or on cabinetry where its softness can offset crisp white counters. It pairs naturally with warm whites, pale wood, aged brass, linen upholstery, and deeper olive or charcoal accents.

LRV of Burgess Green
Burgess Green has an LRV of 49.42% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 49.42%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
