What color is Benjamin Moore Cedar Mountains?
Benjamin Moore Cedar Mountains 706 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a grounded, medium-depth appearance. Its cool lean is softened by the subdued saturation, so it reads less like a bright coastal green and more like a weathered mineral tone. In daylight, Cedar Mountains can show its green side more clearly, while lower or cooler artificial light tends to bring forward the blue-gray character. It is well suited to a study, bedroom, mudroom, or painted cabinetry where a calm but defined color is wanted. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and linen or wool textures for a layered, tactile interior.
LRV of Cedar Mountains
Cedar Mountains has an LRV of 23.68% 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 23.68%, 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.
