What color is Benjamin Moore Cleveland Green?
Benjamin Moore Cleveland Green 1525 is a muted, medium-depth olive with a distinctly earthy cast, sitting between weathered green and warm khaki. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, while the brown-gold influence gives it noticeable warmth. In natural daylight, Cleveland Green can read as a softened olive; under warmer evening lighting, its khaki and brown notes become more pronounced. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a substantial, understated color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, dark wood, blackened metal, or textured linen for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Cleveland Green
Cleveland Green has an LRV of 22.63% 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 22.63%, 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.
