What color is Benjamin Moore Pale Avocado?
Benjamin Moore Pale Avocado 2146-40 is a light, muted yellow-green with a distinctly softened, earthy cast. Its #D3CF8F color value suggests more yellow than green, giving it a gentle olive-leaning appearance rather than a crisp spring green. On walls, Pale Avocado can bring quiet color to kitchens, breakfast nooks, or sunlit bedrooms without feeling overly saturated. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and clay-toned ceramics to emphasize its organic character. In lower light, this shade may read a little more subdued and khaki-like, while brighter daylight can reveal its pale green note.

LRV of Pale Avocado
Pale Avocado has an LRV of 58.88% 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 58.88%, 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.
