What color is Benjamin Moore Fraser Fir?
Benjamin Moore Fraser Fir 503 is a muted olive green with a noticeable gray cast and soft yellow undertones. Its mid-tone depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, giving walls a calm, earthy presence. In warm daylight, the green may read a little more olive, while cooler light can pull forward its gray side. Fraser Fir suits studies, bedrooms, mudrooms, or cabinetry where a subdued natural color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents for a layered, material-focused palette.

LRV of Fraser Fir
Fraser Fir has an LRV of 32.15% 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 32.15%, 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.
