What color is Benjamin Moore Dune Grass?
Benjamin Moore Dune Grass 492 is a light, muted neutral with a soft yellow-beige base and a restrained olive cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly green, giving walls a gently weathered, organic look instead. In bright daylight, this shade can appear closer to pale cream, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy khaki undertone. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. Dune Grass also pairs well with dusty blue-gray accents and deeper olive or brown tones for a layered, grounded palette.
LRV of Dune Grass
Dune Grass has an LRV of 66.62% 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 66.62%, 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.
