What color is Benjamin Moore Cypress Green?
Benjamin Moore Cypress Green 509 is a muted, yellow-leaning olive with a softened gray cast. Its medium-light value keeps it gentle on large walls, where it can read more like weathered sage-khaki than a pronounced green. In bright daylight, the warm olive undertone becomes clearer, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued gray-beige side. Cypress Green suits studies, kitchens, mudrooms, and exterior trim when paired with warm white, putty, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents. It is especially effective on cabinetry or built-in shelving for a low-contrast color statement that still has noticeable earthy character.

LRV of Cypress Green
Cypress Green has an LRV of 35.09% 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 35.09%, 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.
