What color is Benjamin Moore Herb Bouquet?

Benjamin Moore Herb Bouquet 460 is a softened mid-tone green with a gray cast and a gentle olive lean. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly leafy, giving walls a calm, lived-in color that still has clear presence. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Herb Bouquet can show more of its yellow-green side, while cooler light draws out its subdued grayness. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, bedrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and stone with beige or taupe notes. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, blackened bronze, or a dusty blue-gray.

What are Benjamin Moore Herb Bouquet undertones?

Herb Bouquet reads as a mid-light, very muted green with a soft, low-saturation character. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly yellow-green, though that bias is subtle rather than strong. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “moody sage undertones,” which fits its visible muted green family rather than suggesting a distinctly separate color underneath. Warm artificial light may bring out a little more of its yellowed green cast, while cool daylight may make it appear cleaner and slightly grayer.

LRV of Herb Bouquet

Herb Bouquet has an LRV of 35.37% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 35.37%, 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.
