What color is Benjamin Moore Eucalyptus Leaf?

Benjamin Moore Eucalyptus Leaf 2144-20 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it an earthy, softly weathered appearance. Its medium depth keeps it grounded on walls without reading overly dark, while the restrained saturation prevents it from feeling bright or grassy. In warm daylight, Eucalyptus Leaf can lean more golden olive; cooler light brings out its gray-green side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and tan leather. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep brown, or a clay-toned neutral rather than crisp blue-based whites.

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 23.3%, 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.
