What color is Benjamin Moore Galápagos Green?

Benjamin Moore Galápagos Green 475 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy olive undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered appearance. In daylight, the green becomes a little clearer, while lower or warmer light can pull out its softer khaki-gray side. Try it in a study, mudroom, kitchen, or on built-in cabinetry where its restrained color can stand up to wood, stone, and metal finishes. Creamy off-whites, warm putty tones, aged brass, natural oak, and charcoal accents all make fitting companions for Galápagos Green.

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 21.49%, 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.
