What color is Benjamin Moore Mountain Moss?
Benjamin Moore Mountain Moss 2142-30 is a muted, mid-depth olive green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy yellow-brown base. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright or botanical, giving walls a grounded, lived-in look instead. In daylight, Mountain Moss can appear like a weathered olive, while lower or warmer light brings out its khaki-brown side. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and cabinetry where a darker neutral with more character than gray is wanted. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, blackened metal, and textured linen for a layered, practical interior palette.

LRV of Mountain Moss
Mountain Moss has an LRV of 17.64% 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 17.64%, 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.
