What color is Benjamin Moore Desert Green?
Benjamin Moore Desert Green 443 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly botanical or bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the subtle green presence adds more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, this shade can appear gently silvery and subdued; warmer evening bulbs may bring out its quieter yellow-green side. Desert Green suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry where a low-contrast color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Desert Green
Desert Green has an LRV of 54.48% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 54.48%, 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.
