What color is Benjamin Moore Cactus Green?
Benjamin Moore Cactus Green 2035-20 is a deep, saturated green with a clear blue-leaning cast that keeps it from reading earthy or olive. Its strong color presence makes it especially effective on cabinetry, a front door, built-ins, or a single accent wall rather than across every surface in a small room. In bright daylight, Cactus Green shows its lively green character, while lower or warmer lighting can make it appear darker and more grounded. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, matte black hardware, or warm brass for contrast. It also holds up well beside soft putty neutrals and natural materials such as linen, rattan, and aged wood.

LRV of Cactus Green
Cactus Green has an LRV of 14.18% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.18%, 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.
