What color is Benjamin Moore Parrot Green?
Benjamin Moore Parrot Green CW-465 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy, olive-leaning cast. Its mid-light value keeps it noticeable without reading overly bright, while the softened saturation gives it a settled, natural look. In warm daylight, the yellow side may come forward; cooler light can make this shade appear more subdued and green-gray. It suits kitchen cabinetry, a painted dining-room wall, or an accent on built-in shelving, especially alongside warm white, clay tones, weathered wood, and aged brass. For contrast, pair Parrot Green with deep charcoal or a restrained navy rather than a sharp, icy white.

LRV of Parrot Green
Parrot Green has an LRV of 42.21% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 42.21%, 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.
