What color is Benjamin Moore Greenmount Silk?
Benjamin Moore Greenmount Silk HC-3 is a pale, creamy off-white with a noticeable soft yellow-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Greenmount Silk can appear lightly sunlit and buttery; lower or warmer lighting may bring out more of its beige undertone. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a gentle neutral is preferred over crisp white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, or deeper olive and muted blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Greenmount Silk
Greenmount Silk has an LRV of 75.88% 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 75.88%, 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.
