What color is Benjamin Moore Forest Green?
Benjamin Moore Forest Green 2047-10 is a deep, blue-leaning green with a dark teal cast rather than an earthy olive character. Its low-value #174A43 appearance gives walls, built-ins, or cabinets a substantial presence, especially in rooms with strong natural light. In brighter conditions, the green-blue undertone becomes clearer; at night or in shaded spaces, this color can read nearly black-green. Pair Forest Green with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or natural stone to bring out its richness without making the room feel heavy. It is especially effective on library walls, dining room cabinetry, a front door, or a single accent wall where its depth can be appreciated up close.

What are Benjamin Moore Forest Green undertones?
Forest Green is a deep, muted green with a noticeable teal direction, giving it a cool-leaning overall character rather than a yellow or olive cast. In the supplied digital sample, the green reads slightly blue-green, so its undertone can be described as a relative teal bias within the main dark-green family. Benjamin Moore calls it a “dark green” and does not specify an undertone; that description aligns with its visibly very dark, green-forward appearance. Warm artificial light may make the depth feel heavier and soften the teal cast, while cool daylight can make its blue-green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Forest Green
Forest Green has an LRV of 7.58% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.58%, 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.
