What color is Benjamin Moore Green Cast?
Benjamin Moore Green Cast 842 is a very light green-gray with a soft mint cast and a gently cool appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color airy rather than overtly pastel, making it well suited to walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled kitchens. In bright daylight, Green Cast can read cleaner and slightly greener, while lower light tends to bring out its muted gray side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, honed stone, or brushed nickel for a fresh, restrained palette. It is best used across broad wall surfaces where its subtle color shift can be appreciated.

LRV of Green Cast
Green Cast has an LRV of 76.66% and refers to Off‑White 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 76.66%, 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.
