What color is Benjamin Moore Great Barrington Green?
Benjamin Moore Great Barrington Green HC-122 is a muted, mid-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and earthy yellow-olive undertones. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright, giving walls a grounded, natural look that feels especially at home beside wood, stone, and aged brass. In sunlit rooms, Great Barrington Green can show more of its dry olive character, while lower or cooler light brings forward its quieter gray-green side. Use it on a study, mudroom, kitchen cabinetry, or exterior trim when you want color with substance but not a sharply dramatic finish. Creamy off-whites, warm taupes, charcoal accents, and medium oak are all fitting companions for this shade.

What are Benjamin Moore Great Barrington Green undertones?
Great Barrington Green reads as a muted, medium-depth yellow-green with a softened, mossy character rather than a bright or sharply cool green. Its visible color bias leans yellow, which gives the green an earthy, olive-adjacent warmth. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a deep mossy green with a warm finish,” a description that aligns with the sample’s yellow-leaning green appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed warmth, while cool daylight may make the green quality appear clearer and slightly less warm.

LRV of Great Barrington Green
Great Barrington Green has an LRV of 21.39% 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 21.39%, 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.
