What color is Benjamin Moore Monmouth Green?
Benjamin Moore Monmouth Green 2038-40 is a clear, medium-light green with a noticeable aqua cast, based on its #5BC2A2 color value. It reads fresh and fairly saturated rather than muted, sitting between mint green and turquoise. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is likely to appear especially crisp, while lower light may make it feel a little deeper and cooler. Use it on a powder room wall, painted built-ins, or a front door when the room needs a defined hit of color. Creamy whites, pale sand tones, light oak, and matte brass can soften its brightness, while charcoal or deep navy create a sharper contrast.

LRV of Monmouth Green
Monmouth Green has an LRV of 44.15% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 44.15%, 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.
