What color is Benjamin Moore Kensington Green?
Benjamin Moore Kensington Green 710 is a light, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its cool-leaning character is especially clear in daylight, where the soft green and blue notes come forward; warmer evening lighting can make it appear gentler and slightly more subdued. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces where a pale color with more presence than white is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale natural oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a clean, grounded contrast. Kensington Green also has enough softness for full walls while still providing subtle definition on cabinetry or a painted interior door.

LRV of Kensington Green
Kensington Green has an LRV of 45.02% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.02%, 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.
