What color is Benjamin Moore Hancock Green?
Benjamin Moore Hancock Green HC-117 is a light, muted green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its soft, low-saturation appearance can feel like a faded leaf green in daylight, while warmer bulbs may draw out its gentle khaki side. It is well suited to kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, bedrooms, or cabinetry where a pale color with more character than off-white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass for an easy, grounded palette. For contrast, deeper olive greens, charcoal, or dark brown wood can give Hancock Green more definition.

LRV of Hancock Green
Hancock Green has an LRV of 66.06% 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 66.06%, 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.
