What color is Benjamin Moore Light Green?
Benjamin Moore Light Green 408 is a pale yellow-green with a soft, lightly sunlit cast rather than a sharp or minty look. Its high value keeps walls feeling open, while the gentle green presence gives white trim a subtle point of contrast. In bright daylight, this color can read fresher and clearer; under warmer bulbs, its creamy yellow undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and garden-facing spaces, especially alongside warm white, natural oak, woven cane, and muted blue-gray accents. Use Light Green on full walls for a quiet wash of color or on cabinetry and built-ins where its delicate tone can stand out against pale countertops.
LRV of Light Green
Light Green has an LRV of 78.99% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.99%, 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.
