What color is Benjamin Moore Herb Garden?
Benjamin Moore Herb Garden 434 is a muted, medium-depth green with an olive cast and a softly weathered appearance. Its #627649 color value shows a noticeable yellow-green undertone, keeping it warmer than a pine or blue-based forest green. In bright natural light, Herb Garden can read as an earthy leafy green, while lower light draws out its grayer, more subdued side. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a dining room, or a study, yet can also make a grounded accent wall in a lighter room. Pair it with warm off-whites, oatmeal linen, aged brass, natural oak, or terracotta-toned pottery for a layered, organic look.

LRV of Herb Garden
Herb Garden has an LRV of 17.06% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.06%, 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.
