What color is Benjamin Moore Cedar Path?

Benjamin Moore Cedar Path 454 is a muted mid-tone green with a gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its soft yellow-green undertone gives the color an earthy, gently weathered look, especially in daylight. In north-facing rooms it can read cooler and more subdued, while warmer bulbs bring out its olive side. Cedar Path suits kitchens, mudrooms, home offices, and exterior trim where a calm, natural green feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white paint, aged brass, light oak, linen textiles, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Cedar Path undertones?

Cedar Path reads as a muted, medium-depth green with low saturation. Within its green family, the supplied digital sample has a slight yellow bias rather than a blue cast, which can make it appear somewhat earthy or olive-leaning. Benjamin Moore describes Cedar Path as a forest green, a characterization that fits its visible green main family and subdued depth. Warm artificial light may bring its yellow-leaning side forward, while cool daylight may make the green look a little cleaner and less olive.

LRV of Cedar Path

Cedar Path has an LRV of 22.95% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 22.95%, 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.
