What color is Benjamin Moore Oregano?
Benjamin Moore Oregano 2147-10 is a deep, muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it earthy rather than forest-like. Its medium-dark value gives walls a grounded presence, especially in kitchens, dining rooms, and studies. In bright daylight, Oregano can read as a dry olive with softened golden undertones, while lower light brings out its darker, more subdued character. It is particularly effective on cabinetry or a single accent wall paired with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and woven textures. For contrast, use creamy neutrals or charcoal-toned details rather than bright, cool whites.

LRV of Oregano
Oregano has an LRV of 22.57% 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 22.57%, 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.
