What color is Benjamin Moore Calypso Green?
Benjamin Moore Calypso Green 2046-10 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a clear teal cast. Its low-value depth gives it strong visual weight, making it especially effective on cabinetry, a dining room wall, or a front door. In bright daylight, the green side can feel cleaner and more vivid, while lower or warmer light tends to emphasize its dark, inky character. Pair Calypso Green with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or warm terracotta accents to bring out its color without competing with it. On large walls, this shade is best balanced by ample natural light or lighter furnishings nearby.

LRV of Calypso Green
Calypso Green has an LRV of 8.92% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.92%, 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.
