What color is Benjamin Moore Peale Green?
Benjamin Moore Peale Green HC-121 is a muted, medium-deep green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft olive lean. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for library walls, mudrooms, dining rooms, or painted cabinetry. In strong daylight, the green reads clearer and slightly fresher; under warmer artificial light, its earthy undertone becomes more apparent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, and warm stone for a layered, material-focused look. On an exterior, Peale Green can give shutters or a front door a reserved, leafy contrast against light siding or brick.

LRV of Peale Green
Peale Green has an LRV of 14.15% 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 14.15%, 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.
