What color is Benjamin Moore Regent Green?
Benjamin Moore Regent Green 2136-20 is a deep, muted blue-green with a charcoal cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-saturation character can read almost black in dim rooms, while daylight brings out the cool green and slate-blue notes in the color. Use it on cabinetry, a dining room, or a paneled study for a dark surface with more color interest than plain black or gray. Regent Green pairs well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen, which help soften its shadowy depth. On an exterior door or shutters, this shade offers a crisp contrast against light stone, cream siding, or weathered wood.

What are Benjamin Moore Regent Green undertones?
Regent Green is a very deep, low-saturation green that reads nearly black in many settings, with a restrained teal-leaning cast in the supplied digital sample. The subtle blue-green bias is difficult to separate from the color’s overall darkness, so it may simply read as dark green rather than distinctly teal. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a deep pine green that verges on black,” which fits its visible green main family and exceptionally dark character. Warm artificial light can bring out a slightly earthier green impression, while cool daylight may make its quiet blue-green lean more noticeable, though the color will remain very dark.

LRV of Regent Green
Regent Green has an LRV of 6.16% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.16%, 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.
