What color is Benjamin Moore Dried Parsley?
Benjamin Moore Dried Parsley 522 is a light, muted yellow-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading bright or leafy. Its softened olive-khaki character gives walls an understated, earthy presence, especially in rooms with natural wood, linen, or woven textures. In strong daylight, this color can appear a little cleaner and more yellow; lower or warmer light tends to bring out its subdued beige-gray side. Dried Parsley suits living rooms, bedrooms, and quiet workspaces where a low-saturation wall color is preferred over a crisp neutral. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Dried Parsley
Dried Parsley has an LRV of 55.49% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.49%, 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.
