What color is Benjamin Moore Forest Hills Green?
Benjamin Moore Forest Hills Green 433 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast, giving it an earthy rather than blue-leaning look. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright, while the medium value gives walls enough presence without making a room feel overly dark. In daylight, this shade can appear fresher and more garden-like; under warm evening lighting, its olive undertone tends to come forward. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and exterior trim, especially alongside warm white paint, natural oak, aged brass, and stone or terracotta finishes. Forest Hills Green also makes a grounded cabinet color when paired with pale countertops and simple cream tile.

LRV of Forest Hills Green
Forest Hills Green has an LRV of 27.13% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.13%, 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.
