What color is Benjamin Moore Clearspring Green?
Benjamin Moore Clearspring Green HC-128 is a muted mid-tone green with a lightly cool, gray-softened cast. Its moderate depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel dark, especially when paired with warm white trim or pale natural oak. In bright daylight, Clearspring Green can read cleaner and fresher, while lower or warmer light may bring out its quieter, more subdued side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry, where its softened green character can anchor the space without overpowering nearby finishes. Try it with aged brass, creamy linen, charcoal accents, or terracotta-toned pottery for contrast.

LRV of Clearspring Green
Clearspring Green has an LRV of 28.72% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 28.72%, 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.
