What color is Benjamin Moore Olive Moss?
Benjamin Moore Olive Moss 2147-20 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a medium, grounded depth. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading bright, while the noticeable golden component gives the color a dry, sun-warmed quality. In rooms with warm daylight or incandescent lighting, Olive Moss can lean more ochre and mossy; cooler light brings out its quieter green side. It suits a study, dining room, mudroom, or painted built-ins where a deeper natural color can add definition without feeling overly dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, weathered oak, aged brass, and muted clay or rust accents.

LRV of Olive Moss
Olive Moss has an LRV of 25.66% 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 25.66%, 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.
