What color is Benjamin Moore Misted Fern?
Benjamin Moore Misted Fern 482 is a muted yellow-green with a grayed, olive cast that keeps it from reading too bright. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while still feeling softened and earthy. In daylight, the green undertone is likely to come forward more clearly, while warmer lamps can emphasize its dry, golden-olive side. Use it in a kitchen, mudroom, study, or garden-facing bedroom with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep brown, or a dusty blue-gray rather than crisp, high-chroma colors.

LRV of Misted Fern
Misted Fern has an LRV of 30.63% and refers to Medium 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 30.63%, 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.
