What color is Benjamin Moore Granny Smith?

Benjamin Moore Granny Smith CSP-860 is a clear yellow-green with a bright, leafy cast and a noticeable golden undertone. Its light-medium depth gives it enough presence for a feature wall, painted cabinetry, or a cheerful mudroom without reading overly dark. In warm daylight, Granny Smith can lean more sunlit and yellow, while cooler light brings forward its fresher green side. Pair it with soft warm whites, pale wood, woven natural fibers, and muted blue-gray accents to keep the color grounded. It also makes a lively choice for exterior doors or garden-facing spaces where its crisp chartreuse character can echo surrounding foliage.

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 57.09%, 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.
