What color is Benjamin Moore Dartsmouth Green?

Benjamin Moore Dartsmouth Green 691 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a softened, mid-depth appearance. Its cool lean is most apparent in daylight, where the green and blue notes feel clean but subdued rather than bright. In lower or warmer artificial light, Dartsmouth Green can read more like a weathered gray-green. It suits bathroom walls, built-in cabinetry, or a quiet home office, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents. For a more grounded scheme, pair this color with natural linen, slate tile, or deep brown wood.

LRV of Dartsmouth Green

Dartsmouth Green has an LRV of 25.95% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 25.95%, 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.
