What color is Benjamin Moore Rainforest Dew?
Benjamin Moore Rainforest Dew 2146-50 is a light, softened yellow-green with a creamy, slightly muted cast. Its pale value keeps it from reading overly colorful, while the green influence gives it more character than a standard off-white. In bright daylight, this shade can appear fresher and a touch greener; under warm bulbs, its gentle yellow undertone is more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms, and bedrooms where a low-contrast wall color is wanted. Pair Rainforest Dew with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and subdued olive or clay accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Rainforest Dew
Rainforest Dew has an LRV of 74.45% and refers to Off‑White 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 74.45%, 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.
