What color is Benjamin Moore Corn Stalk?
Benjamin Moore Corn Stalk 542 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft sage cast and a gently earthy feel. Its noticeable green undertone keeps it from reading like a standard cream, while the yellow influence gives it more warmth than a cool gray-green. In bright daylight, Corn Stalk can look fresh and leafy; under warmer lamps, it shifts toward a mellow, softened olive. It suits kitchen walls, sunrooms, laundry rooms, or a bedroom where a pale color with some character is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and clay or terracotta accents, or use charcoal details for sharper contrast.

LRV of Corn Stalk
Corn Stalk has an LRV of 54.59% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 54.59%, 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.
