What color is Benjamin Moore Perfectly Pesto?
Benjamin Moore Perfectly Pesto CSP-895 is a muted olive green with a noticeable brown-gold cast, giving it an earthy, settled appearance. Its mid-tone depth keeps it from reading too bright, while the softened yellow undertone adds warmth in daylight. In lower or north-facing light, Perfectly Pesto can look more subdued and slightly grayer; warmer evening light brings out its olive and khaki character. It is especially effective on kitchen cabinetry, a library wall, or a dining room where wood furniture and aged brass are part of the mix. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, cognac leather, and matte black details for a grounded palette.

LRV of Perfectly Pesto
Perfectly Pesto has an LRV of 20.52% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.52%, 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.
