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.

What are Benjamin Moore Prescott Green undertones?
Prescott Green reads as a light, highly muted yellow-green with a soft, grayish cast rather than a strong or vivid green. The supplied digital sample shows only a subtle yellow-green bias, so its undertone is gentle and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a soft, powdery green with a trace of blue,” which suggests a slight cool note within its overall green character rather than a distinctly blue-green appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed, softened side, while cool daylight may make the green and the manufacturer-described blue trace easier to notice.

LRV of Prescott Green
Prescott Green has an LRV of 55.76% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 55.76%, 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.
