What color is Benjamin Moore North Shore Green?
Benjamin Moore North Shore Green 456 is a pale, muted green with a soft gray cast and a lightly cool appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly green, giving walls a clean, powdery wash of color instead. In bright daylight, the subtle green becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light can make it appear closer to a gentle green-gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel. North Shore Green can also make a calm cabinet color when paired with simple off-white walls and natural wood accents.

LRV of North Shore Green
North Shore Green has an LRV of 70.62% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 70.62%, 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.
