What color is Benjamin Moore Caribe Green?
Benjamin Moore Caribe Green 2042-50 is a light, clear aqua with a noticeable green cast and a soft blue undertone. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the color itself has enough pigment to read as more than a neutral pastel. In daylight, Caribe Green can appear fresh and watery; under warmer lamps, its green side may come forward slightly. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, and children’s spaces where a clean wash of color is welcome. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale blond wood, woven natural fibers, or deep navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Caribe Green
Caribe Green has an LRV of 61.21% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 61.21%, 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.
