What color is Benjamin Moore Croquet?

Benjamin Moore Croquet AF-455 is a muted yellow-green with a substantial gray cast, giving it the look of softened olive leaves rather than a bright botanical green. Its medium-light depth keeps walls from feeling heavy, while the low saturation makes it especially easy to live with across larger areas. In daylight, Croquet can read as a dusty sage-olive; under warm evening lighting, its earthy yellow undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, dining rooms, and built-in cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without the darkness of a deeper olive. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep brown accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Croquet undertones?

Croquet AF-455 reads as a mid-light, muted yellow-green with a soft, low-saturation character. It looks primarily green, with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from appearing cool or blue-leaning; in the supplied digital sample, that yellow-green direction is a relative visible bias rather than a confirmed paint-formula undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as a shade of green that brings rosemary and sage to mind, which fits its subdued, earthy-looking green family. Warm artificial light may make its yellow influence more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the green aspect appear clearer and slightly less warm.

LRV of Croquet

Croquet has an LRV of 45.02% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 45.02%, 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.
