What color is Benjamin Moore Newburg Green?

Benjamin Moore Newburg Green HC-158 is a deep blue-green with a muted, smoky cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or tropical. Its blue side is especially noticeable in cooler daylight, while warmer evening lighting can draw out the green and soften its charcoal-like depth. This color has enough weight for a dining room, library, or powder room, and it makes a strong statement on kitchen cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, or pale stone to bring contrast and warmth around its dark tone. In rooms with limited light, Newburg Green will read richer and more shadowed, so it is often most effective when balanced with lighter surrounding surfaces.

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 10.58%, 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.
