What color is Benjamin Moore Chamomile?
Benjamin Moore Chamomile 397 is a bright yellow-green with a clear citrus cast and a lightly softened, sun-faded quality. Its high lightness keeps the color from feeling heavy, while the green undertone gives it more freshness than a conventional buttery yellow. On walls, Chamomile can bring lively color to a breakfast nook, mudroom, playroom, or garden-facing kitchen. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural oak, woven cane, and warm brass for a clean, organic look, or use charcoal and deep navy accents to sharpen its energetic character. In strong daylight, this shade reads especially vivid and green-leaning, so it is best used where a cheerful, noticeable dose of color is wanted.
LRV of Chamomile
Chamomile has an LRV of 59.59% 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 59.59%, 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.
