What color is Benjamin Moore Oak Grove?
Benjamin Moore Oak Grove 489 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast and a gently grayed finish. Its medium depth keeps it grounded on walls, where it reads earthy rather than bright or leafy. In warm daylight, the yellow-green side becomes clearer, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued, mossy character. Oak Grove suits studies, mudrooms, kitchens, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and tan leather. For contrast, pair it with soft clay tones, deep charcoal, or a dusty blue-gray.

LRV of Oak Grove
Oak Grove has an LRV of 20.18% 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 20.18%, 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.
