What color is Benjamin Moore Prescott Green?

Benjamin Moore Prescott Green HC-140 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly leafy or bright. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the subtle green undertone adds more character than a standard warm gray. In daylight, Prescott Green can appear gently fresh and mineral-like; under warmer lamps, its gray-green base may look quieter and slightly softer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside creamy whites, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, blackened bronze, or a dark forest green on trim and accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

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.
