What color is Benjamin Moore Irish Spring?

Benjamin Moore Irish Spring 2038-70 is a very light mint green with a clean aqua cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than sugary. Its high lightness makes it especially effective in small bathrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit bedrooms where a pale color can still read clearly on the wall. In bright daylight, Irish Spring appears crisp and softly green; under warmer evening bulbs, its mint tone may look gentler and slightly more subdued. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, woven grasscloth, or brushed nickel for a light, airy finish. Deep charcoal, inky navy, or medium blue-green accents can add useful contrast without overpowering this delicate shade.

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 84.76%, 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.
