What color is Benjamin Moore Green Hydrangea?
Benjamin Moore Green Hydrangea CSP-850 is a softened yellow-green with a muted, lightly earthy cast. Its #CFCB8C value reads as a pale olive-lime that carries more warmth than a typical sage, while its restrained saturation keeps it from feeling sharp. In bright daylight, Green Hydrangea can appear sunnier and more yellow; lower or indirect light brings out its dusty olive side. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or painted cabinetry where a gentle but noticeable color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, natural linen, aged brass, and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Green Hydrangea
Green Hydrangea has an LRV of 55.79% 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 55.79%, 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.
