What color is Benjamin Moore Richmond Green?
Benjamin Moore Richmond Green 553 is a medium green with a clear leafy cast and a subtle yellow undertone that keeps it from reading blue or icy. Its #5F9253 value gives it moderate depth and saturation, so it feels grounded on a full wall without becoming as heavy as a forest green. In bright daylight, the color can appear fresher and more botanical, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its earthier olive side. Use Richmond Green on kitchen cabinetry, a mudroom, or a study wall alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. For contrast, pair it with soft clay, muted terracotta, or deep charcoal accents.

LRV of Richmond Green
Richmond Green has an LRV of 24.32% 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 24.32%, 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.
