What color is Benjamin Moore Chameleon?
Benjamin Moore Chameleon 526 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft, chalky cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the green undertone is more apparent beside crisp white trim or cool gray furnishings. In daylight, Chameleon can feel gently fresh and botanical; warmer evening bulbs tend to bring forward its creamy yellow side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms, and bedrooms where a low-saturation color is wanted without defaulting to beige. Pair it with warm whites, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted blue-gray accents for a grounded, lived-in palette.

LRV of Chameleon
Chameleon has an LRV of 71.36% 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 71.36%, 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.
