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.

What are Benjamin Moore Newburg Green undertones?

Newburg Green is a deep, very muted blue-green with a low-saturation, charcoal-like cast rather than a bright teal look. The supplied digital sample reads primarily blue, with a subtle green bias that is present but not strong enough to define the color on its own. Benjamin Moore describes it as a shade of teal, which fits its visible blue-green family, though it appears darker and more restrained than many typical teals. Warm artificial light may make its green-gray side more noticeable, while cool daylight can emphasize the blue direction, with the exact shift depending on the room and light source.

LRV of Newburg Green

Newburg Green has an LRV of 10.58% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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.
