What color is Benjamin Moore Chrome Green?
Benjamin Moore Chrome Green HC-189 is a deeply shaded green with a cool blue-green cast and an almost black presence at first glance. In low light, it can read as an inky dark neutral, while daylight brings out its concentrated green character. Chrome Green is especially effective on kitchen cabinetry, built-ins, interior doors, or a dining room accent wall where its depth can be appreciated up close. Pair it with warm off-whites, pale limestone, natural oak, or aged brass to give the color contrast and warmth. On an exterior, this shade has enough weight for shutters, a front door, or trim against lighter siding.

What are Benjamin Moore Chrome Green undertones?
Chrome Green is a deep, strongly saturated green with a dark, soft overall appearance. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly toward yellow-green rather than blue-green, giving the green a grounded, natural-looking cast. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “rich ivy green,” which aligns with its visibly deep green main family rather than indicating a separately measured undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green bias, while cool daylight can make the color read a little cleaner and cooler green.

LRV of Chrome Green
Chrome Green has an LRV of 7.13% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.13%, 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.
