What color is Benjamin Moore Cushing Green?

Benjamin Moore Cushing Green HC-125 is a muted green-gray with a medium depth and a softly weathered look. Its low saturation keeps the green restrained, reading almost like a mineral-toned neutral in some settings. Cool daylight can pull out its gray side, while warmer bulbs make the color appear slightly earthier. It suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, or exterior siding where a grounded wall color feels more appropriate than a bright botanical green. Pair Cushing Green with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, blackened metal, or stone in cream and charcoal tones.

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 17.98%, 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.
