What color is Benjamin Moore Garden Oasis?

Benjamin Moore Garden Oasis 699 is a muted, mid-depth green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its soft green undertone reads a little cooler in north-facing rooms, while warm afternoon light can bring out more of its organic, leafy side. Use it on bedroom or living room walls when you want color without a high-saturation look. Garden Oasis pairs especially well with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, matte black hardware, and clay-toned accents. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a covered exterior door, particularly alongside stone or weathered wood.

What are Benjamin Moore Garden Oasis undertones?

Garden Oasis is a midtone, very muted green with a softened, gray-leaning appearance rather than a crisp or vivid one. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle bias appears slightly yellow-green, though that undertone is faint and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “subtle warmth” and a “gently shaded cast,” which fits its muted herb-green character without changing its main green family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow warmth, while cool daylight can make the green read a little cleaner or grayer.

LRV of Garden Oasis

Garden Oasis has an LRV of 25.75% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 25.75%, 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.
