What color is Benjamin Moore Dill Pickle?
Benjamin Moore Dill Pickle 2147-40 is a light, muted olive with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading too gray or mossy. Its softened saturation gives walls a gently weathered look, especially alongside natural oak, rattan, linen, and warm brass. In bright daylight, Dill Pickle can appear more yellow-green, while lower or north-facing light brings out its quieter olive side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and garden-facing rooms where its earthy character can connect indoor finishes to the landscape. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep charcoal accents, or terracotta-toned textiles for contrast.

LRV of Dill Pickle
Dill Pickle has an LRV of 50.02% 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 50.02%, 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.
