What color is Benjamin Moore Grecian Green?

Benjamin Moore Grecian Green 507 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a softened yellow-olive undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading like a crisp botanical green, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered appearance instead. In daylight, it can appear airy and green-gray, while warmer artificial light may bring out more of its gentle olive warmth. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a pale color is wanted without using plain white or beige. Pair Grecian Green with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal accents for grounded contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Grecian Green undertones?

Grecian Green reads as a light, muted yellow-green with low saturation and a softened, gray-leaning character. Within its visible green family, it has a relative yellow bias, which keeps it from looking icy or blue-green. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a muted green,” which matches the restrained, softened appearance of the supplied color sample. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow cast, while cool daylight may make its green side appear a little clearer.

LRV of Grecian Green

Grecian Green has an LRV of 53.83% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 53.83%, 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.
