What color is Benjamin Moore Celtic Green?
Benjamin Moore Celtic Green 2038-10 is a deep, saturated green with a noticeable blue-teal cast rather than a yellow or olive base. Its strong pigment gives it substantial visual weight, making it especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-ins, or a single dramatic wall. In bright daylight, the color’s cleaner green character is more apparent, while lower light can bring out its darker, forested depth. Pair Celtic Green with warm white trim, pale oak, walnut, aged brass, or terracotta-toned textiles to add warmth around its cool-leaning color. For a bolder scheme, it can anchor a powder room or dining area alongside creamy stone and matte black details.

LRV of Celtic Green
Celtic Green has an LRV of 11.23% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.23%, 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.
