What color is Benjamin Moore Dunmore Green?

Benjamin Moore Dunmore Green CW-540 is a mid-tone green with a clear, gently cool cast that keeps it fresh rather than earthy. Its #50996E color value suggests a noticeable blue-green influence, giving the shade a clean look on broad walls and painted millwork. In bright daylight, Dunmore Green reads brighter and more lively; lower or warmer light can make it appear deeper and slightly more muted. Use it for a kitchen island, bathroom vanity, mudroom cabinetry, or an exterior door when you want color with enough presence to define the surface. Crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and warm off-whites give this shade a grounded, practical setting.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 26.88%, 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.
