What color is Benjamin Moore Ivy League?
Benjamin Moore Ivy League 516 is a muted olive-khaki with a softened golden beige cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded without reading too dark, while the low saturation gives it a weathered, natural look rather than a bright green one. In warm daylight, this shade can appear more yellowed and earthy; under cooler artificial light, its olive-gray side becomes more noticeable. It suits studies, mudrooms, and dining rooms, especially alongside aged brass, walnut, tan leather, and warm off-white trim. Ivy League also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a single accent wall when paired with creamy neutrals and charcoal details.

LRV of Ivy League
Ivy League has an LRV of 26.41% 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 26.41%, 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.
