What color is Benjamin Moore Gloucester Green?
Benjamin Moore Gloucester Green CW-440 is a light, softened yellow-beige with a subtle olive cast that keeps it from reading like a standard cream. Its low saturation gives it a gently weathered, parchment-like appearance rather than a crisp or bright one. In sunlit rooms, the warm golden side comes forward; under cooler artificial light, it can look more muted and khaki-toned. Gloucester Green suits living room walls, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms where a pale color with more character than off-white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or deeper olive and brown accents.

LRV of Gloucester Green
Gloucester Green has an LRV of 63.37% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 63.37%, 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.
