What color is Benjamin Moore Norway Spruce?
Benjamin Moore Norway Spruce 452 is a muted, mid-light green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than leafy or bright. The #9BAD97 value reads as a subdued sage, with gentle coolness balanced by an earthy, weathered quality. In bright natural light, it can look lighter and more silvery; in shaded rooms, the gray-green character becomes more pronounced. Use it on bedroom, mudroom, or living room walls when you want color without a sharp contrast against white trim. Norway Spruce also suits painted cabinetry beside honed stone, brushed nickel, pale oak, and warm off-white surfaces.

LRV of Norway Spruce
Norway Spruce has an LRV of 39.16% 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 39.16%, 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.
