What color is Benjamin Moore Misted Green?

Benjamin Moore Misted Green 2138-50 is a muted, medium-light green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, weathered look, while the slight green presence prevents it from reading as plain gray. In bright natural light, Misted Green can appear lighter and more silvery; in dimmer rooms, its gray-green character becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a subdued wall color is preferred. Pair it with warm white trim, pale wood, linen upholstery, or charcoal details for contrast.

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 46.44%, 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.
