What color is Benjamin Moore Prairie Green?
Benjamin Moore Prairie Green 2038-30 is a vivid mid-tone green with a pronounced blue-teal cast, reflected in its rich #0A976D color value. Its high saturation gives it a clean, energized presence rather than a muted botanical look. In bright daylight, Prairie Green can read fresh and distinctly turquoise-green, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its deeper emerald side. It makes a strong choice for a powder room, painted built-ins, a kitchen island, or a front door where a concentrated color feels intentional. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale warm wood, brushed brass, charcoal, or soft sand-colored textiles to give its cool intensity some contrast.

LRV of Prairie Green
Prairie Green has an LRV of 24.63% 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 24.63%, 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.
