What color is Benjamin Moore Ming Jade?
Benjamin Moore Ming Jade 2043-20 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a clear teal cast and substantial visual weight. Its rich color reads cooler than a leafy green, especially beside warm whites, oak, or brass. In bright daylight, the green side becomes more apparent, while lower light brings out its darker, inkier teal depth. Use Ming Jade on cabinetry, a powder room, or a dining room accent wall where its intensity can be appreciated up close. It pairs well with creamy off-white trim, pale wood, matte black hardware, and warm clay or terracotta accents.

LRV of Ming Jade
Ming Jade has an LRV of 14.05% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.05%, 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.
