What color is Benjamin Moore Kelp Forest Green?

Benjamin Moore Kelp Forest Green 2043-30 is a saturated blue-green with a clear, cool-leaning character. Its rich teal presence is strong enough for a powder room, built-in bookcase, or painted kitchen island, where it can hold its own against warm brass or aged bronze hardware. In bright natural light, this color reads lively and clean, while lower light brings out a deeper, more shaded green-blue effect. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, woven cane, or warm terracotta accents to give its cool intensity some contrast. On a full wall, it makes the biggest impact in rooms with good daylight; on cabinetry or a front door, it offers a concentrated hit of color without overtaking the space.

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 24.43%, 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.
