What color is Benjamin Moore Creekside Green?
Benjamin Moore Creekside Green 2141-40 is a muted olive-leaning green with a noticeable gray cast and a softly earthy yellow undertone. Its midtone depth keeps it present on walls without reading overly dark or heavily saturated. In daylight, Creekside Green can appear like a weathered green-gray, while warmer artificial light may bring forward its khaki character. It suits studies, mudrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms where natural wood, woven fibers, or aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal accents, matte black hardware, and medium oak or walnut for a grounded, collected look.

What are Benjamin Moore Creekside Green undertones?
Creekside Green reads as a muted, midtone gray with a soft green cast and a slightly yellow-olive lean in the supplied digital sample. Its low saturation keeps the green restrained, so it can look more like a weathered gray than a clearly green paint. Benjamin Moore describes it as a dark gray with hazy green tones; that description aligns with the visible gray main family while recognizing the subtle green bias. Warm artificial light may bring forward its yellowed, olive side, while cool daylight can make it appear grayer and a little cleaner.

LRV of Creekside Green
Creekside Green has an LRV of 31.43% 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 31.43%, 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.
