What color is Benjamin Moore Folk Art?
Benjamin Moore Folk Art 528 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft olive cast and a gently dusty finish. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the green undertone gives the color more character than a standard cream or beige. In daylight, Folk Art can read as a mellow botanical neutral; under warmer bulbs, its yellow side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and woven textures. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper olive green, charcoal, or a grounded brown-gray.

LRV of Folk Art
Folk Art has an LRV of 60.57% 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 60.57%, 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.
