What color is Benjamin Moore Grenada Villa?
Benjamin Moore Grenada Villa 690 is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while still feeling gentle, especially in rooms with ample natural light. In cooler light, the gray-blue side may come forward; warmer bulbs can make its green undertone appear a little more apparent. Grenada Villa suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and painted cabinetry, where its subdued color can pair well with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. For a more layered look, combine this shade with natural linen, matte black hardware, or clay-toned textiles.

Grenada Villa has an LRV of 34.56% 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 34.56%, 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.
