What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Celery?
Benjamin Moore Dark Celery 2146-10 is a muted olive green with a strong yellow cast, giving it an earthy, harvested look rather than a leafy or cool botanical feel. Its mid-to-dark depth makes it especially effective on cabinetry, a dining room, or a small powder room where a grounded color can carry the space. In bright natural light, the yellow-olive character becomes clearer, while lower light can make this shade read deeper and more subdued. Pair Dark Celery with warm ivory trim, aged brass, natural oak, or terracotta-toned tile to reinforce its warm, organic direction. For contrast, charcoal, deep brown, and soft black accents give it a more tailored finish.

LRV of Dark Celery
Dark Celery has an LRV of 21.32% 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 21.32%, 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.
