What color is Benjamin Moore Perennial?

Benjamin Moore Perennial 405 is a muted yellow-green with an olive cast and a light-to-mid depth. Its noticeable yellow base keeps it warmer than a sage, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading as bright chartreuse. In direct daylight, Perennial can look fresh and leafy; under warmer bulbs, it tends to shift toward a more golden olive. It makes a characterful choice for a kitchen island, painted built-ins, or a mudroom wall where a little color is welcome. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood finishes, matte black hardware, or deep brown accents for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 39.37%, 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.
