What color is Benjamin Moore Lehigh Green?

Benjamin Moore Lehigh Green HC-131 is a muted mid-tone green with a gentle gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than leafy or bright. Its slightly cool blue-green lean is most noticeable in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring out its softer, earthier side. Lehigh Green suits living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a colored wall is wanted without a heavy or highly saturated effect. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and soft charcoal for a layered, collected look. It also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry or a front door, especially alongside pale stone or cream-colored siding.

LRV of Lehigh Green

Lehigh Green has an LRV of 27.09% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.09%, 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.
