What color is Benjamin Moore G.I. Green?
Benjamin Moore G.I. Green 2149-20 is a muted olive-gold with a noticeably earthy, yellow-brown cast. Its medium-dark depth gives it enough presence for a dining room, study, or mudroom wall without reading as overly bright. In direct daylight, the ochre side of the color may become more apparent, while lower light can pull it toward a deeper, more subdued olive. Pair G.I. Green with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, or dark walnut for a grounded palette. It also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall where its dusty green character can stand out.

LRV of G.I. Green
G.I. Green has an LRV of 22.9% 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 22.9%, 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.
