What color is Benjamin Moore Colony Green?

Benjamin Moore Colony Green 694 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it understated rather than leafy or bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy appearance, while the faint coolness in the color can read a little more noticeable in north-facing rooms or shaded areas. In warmer daylight, Colony Green looks gentler and slightly softer against cream trim and natural oak. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and quiet kitchen walls, especially alongside off-white, warm gray, brushed nickel, limestone, or light wood finishes. Use this shade across a full room for a low-contrast backdrop, or on cabinetry when paired with warmer white walls.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 65.82%, 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.
