What color is Benjamin Moore Pine Forest?

Benjamin Moore Pine Forest 451 is a light, muted green with a gray cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its low-saturation character reads like a dusty sage, with a gently cool, natural appearance that can shift a little grayer in low light. On walls, Pine Forest suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces where a pale color with more presence than off-white is wanted. Pair it with creamy white trim, weathered oak, linen, and brushed nickel for a restrained, lived-in look. It can also be used on cabinetry or a painted built-in alongside warm white walls and dark bronze hardware.

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 49.43%, 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.
