What color is Benjamin Moore Crisp Romaine?
Benjamin Moore Crisp Romaine 686 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a slightly cool, blue-leaning edge. Its low brightness gives it a grounded, shadowy presence, especially in rooms with limited natural light. On walls, Crisp Romaine can make a study, dining room, or powder room feel more defined without reading as nearly black. It pairs well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and creamy linen fabrics, which keep its cool depth from feeling stark. Use it on cabinetry or an accent wall when you want a substantial green that still feels restrained rather than overly saturated.

LRV of Crisp Romaine
Crisp Romaine has an LRV of 9.22% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.22%, 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.
