What color is Benjamin Moore Hibiscus?

Benjamin Moore Hibiscus 2027-50 is a light, yellow-leaning green with a soft, sunlit cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the noticeable yellow undertone gives it more presence than a muted mint or gray-green. In bright daylight, Hibiscus can look fresh and lightly citrusy; under warm evening bulbs, it may read closer to a creamy chartreuse. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a cheerful accent on built-ins and interior doors. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, or dusty blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Hibiscus

Hibiscus has an LRV of 75.11% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of lightWhy 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 75.11%, 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.
