What color is Benjamin Moore Mustard Olive?
Benjamin Moore Mustard Olive 2151-10 is a deep, muted golden olive with an earthy brown cast. Its #A08542 color value gives it a grounded mid-to-dark presence, with enough yellow to read as mustard rather than a true green. In sunlit rooms, the gold notes become more apparent, while lower or cooler light draws out its subdued olive-brown side. Use it on a dining room wall, a library, or painted cabinetry where a concentrated color can add weight without looking overly bright. It pairs well with warm ivory, aged brass, dark walnut, black accents, and natural materials such as leather, linen, and woven cane.

LRV of Mustard Olive
Mustard Olive has an LRV of 23% 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 23%, 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.
