What color is Benjamin Moore Cedar Green?
Benjamin Moore Cedar Green 2034-40 is a clear mid-tone green with an even, balanced cast rather than a strong yellow or blue lean. Its #7FB37F value gives it moderate brightness and enough saturation to read distinctly on a wall without feeling overly dark. In bright daylight, the color can appear fresher and lighter, while lower light gives it a quieter, slightly more muted appearance. Cedar Green is well suited to kitchens, garden-facing rooms, mudrooms, or painted built-ins where a defined green adds presence. Pair it with soft white trim, pale wood, natural linen, or charcoal details for contrast.

LRV of Cedar Green
Cedar Green has an LRV of 39.7% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.7%, 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.
