What color is Benjamin Moore Castleton Mist?
Benjamin Moore Castleton Mist HC-1 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft khaki cast. Its low-saturation character keeps the color from reading overly sunny, giving it an earthy, gently aged appearance instead. In bright daylight, the pale yellow notes may be more noticeable, while lower light can bring forward its subdued olive-beige side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and living areas where natural wood, warm white trim, linen, and aged brass are part of the palette. Pair Castleton Mist with creamy off-whites, medium oak, terracotta accents, or deeper olive details for a layered look.

LRV of Castleton Mist
Castleton Mist has an LRV of 61.44% 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 61.44%, 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.
