What color is Benjamin Moore Dragonwell?
Benjamin Moore Dragonwell CSP-930 is a deep, muted golden olive with an earthy brown cast. Its yellow-green undertone gives it a sunbaked, botanical character, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright. In warm daylight, Dragonwell can look more ochre and golden; under cooler artificial light, its olive side becomes more apparent. It brings weight to dining rooms, studies, mudrooms, or cabinetry, especially alongside natural oak, aged brass, woven cane, and warm white trim. Pair it with creamy neutrals, clay-toned accents, charcoal, or deep brown for a grounded palette.

LRV of Dragonwell
Dragonwell has an LRV of 21.86% 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 21.86%, 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.
