What color is Benjamin Moore Pine Grove?
Benjamin Moore Pine Grove 511 is a muted olive-taupe with a noticeable brown cast, giving it an earthy, grounded appearance. Its medium depth keeps it from reading too dark, while the softened green undertone becomes more apparent in daylight. In warmer artificial light, Pine Grove can lean more khaki and subdued, making it especially suitable for studies, mudrooms, and cozy dining spaces. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents for a layered, natural-looking palette. It has enough presence for cabinetry or a painted accent wall, yet can also hold up across all four walls in a room with good natural light.

LRV of Pine Grove
Pine Grove has an LRV of 19.28% 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 19.28%, 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.
