What color is Benjamin Moore Dakota Shadow?
Benjamin Moore Dakota Shadow 448 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than leafy or bright. Its low saturation gives walls a weathered, natural look, while the #515D51 value suggests a cool-leaning character with soft olive undertones. In bright daylight, Dakota Shadow can read as a reserved gray-green; under warmer lamps, the green becomes more apparent without turning yellow. It suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and built-in cabinetry where a darker neutral can add definition. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, light oak, stone, or charcoal accents for a material-driven palette.

LRV of Dakota Shadow
Dakota Shadow has an LRV of 11.6% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.6%, 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.
