What color is Benjamin Moore Hiking Path?
Benjamin Moore Hiking Path 524 is a muted olive-khaki with a softly weathered, earthy cast. Its medium-light depth keeps it grounded on walls without reading heavy, while the subdued yellow-green undertone gives it more character than a standard beige. In bright daylight, Hiking Path can appear dry and sun-faded; under warm lamps, it leans more golden and brown. It suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and cabinetry paired with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, leather, or woven textures. For contrast, use charcoal, deep brown, or a dusty blue-gray rather than crisp, icy whites.
LRV of Hiking Path
Hiking Path has an LRV of 30.12% 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 30.12%, 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.
