What color is Benjamin Moore Palmer Green?
Benjamin Moore Palmer Green CW-475 is a deep, muted olive with a distinctly earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the green grounded, while the yellow-brown influence in the color gives it a dry, mossy warmth rather than a crisp botanical look. In bright daylight, Palmer Green can read as an understated olive; under warm lamps, it may appear more brown-leaning and shaded. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior trim when a dark natural color is wanted without the coolness of forest green. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, weathered wood, and clay or putty-toned textiles.

LRV of Palmer Green
Palmer Green has an LRV of 12.09% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.09%, 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.
