What color is Benjamin Moore Hollingsworth Green?

Benjamin Moore Hollingsworth Green HC-141 is a light, muted green with a softened gray cast and a subtle yellow-green undertone. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the low saturation prevents it from reading overly leafy or bright. In daylight, Hollingsworth Green can appear like a gentle washed sage; under warmer interior lighting, its quiet beige-gray side may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms where a light neutral with a touch of color is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, light oak, honed stone, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for clear contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Hollingsworth Green undertones?

Hollingsworth Green is a light, very muted yellow-green with a soft, low-saturation appearance rather than a strong green presence. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle bias leans slightly yellow-green, though that undertone read is faint and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “feather-light green,” which fits its visibly pale green main color family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow cast, while cool daylight can make it appear a little cleaner and more green-leaning.

LRV of Hollingsworth Green

Hollingsworth Green has an LRV of 63.25% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 63.25%, 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.
