What color is Benjamin Moore In the Garden?

Benjamin Moore In the Garden CSP-805 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and a softly earthy olive undertone. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading bright or botanical, giving walls a grounded, weathered look instead. In brighter daylight, this color can show more of its softened green character, while lower or warmer light brings forward its gray-brown depth. It is well suited to studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and exterior trim, and can also make a distinctive cabinet color against pale stone counters. Pair In the Garden with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, charcoal, and linen textiles for a cohesive palette.

What are Benjamin Moore In the Garden undertones?

In the Garden reads as a muted, medium-to-dark yellow-green with low saturation, giving it a softened, earthy green character rather than a bright or crisp one. Relative to a more neutral green, the supplied digital sample leans slightly yellow, which can make it appear somewhat olive. Benjamin Moore describes the color as “cool, deep, and lush”; that description fits its subdued green presence, although the visible sample still carries a yellow-green bias. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-olive side, while cool daylight may make the green look a little clearer and less yellow.

LRV of In the Garden

In the Garden has an LRV of 17.88% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.88%, 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.
