What color is Benjamin Moore Par Four?
Benjamin Moore Par Four 470 is a light, muted gray-green with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered look, somewhere between pale sage and a faded green-gray. In bright daylight, the green undertone is more noticeable, while lower or warmer light can make the color appear quieter and slightly more neutral. Par Four suits bedrooms, home offices, mudrooms, and kitchens where a subtle natural color is wanted without a strong statement. Pair it with creamy off-whites, light oak, warm limestone, woven textures, and charcoal or deep olive accents for definition.

LRV of Par Four
Par Four has an LRV of 64.33% 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 64.33%, 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.
