What color is Benjamin Moore Enchanted Forest?

Benjamin Moore Enchanted Forest 700 is a muted, mid-dark green with a noticeable gray cast, based on its #606E63 color value. The softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright botanical green, giving it a quiet, grounded appearance on walls. It can feel cooler beside warm whites and natural oak, while charcoal, black, and brushed nickel emphasize its gray-green side. Use it in a study, dining room, or bedroom for a low-contrast backdrop, or on cabinetry where its depth can anchor lighter counters and wall colors. Creamy off-whites, weathered wood, matte black hardware, and stone with gray or olive notes are particularly natural companions.

LRV of Enchanted Forest

Enchanted Forest has an LRV of 15.96% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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 15.96%, 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.
