What color is Benjamin Moore Rolling Hills?

Benjamin Moore Rolling Hills 1497 is a muted olive-gray with a softly earthy cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded on walls, where it reads as a quiet green-gray rather than a bright botanical green. Natural daylight can draw out its subtle olive undertone, while warmer lamps may make the color appear a little more khaki. Pair Rolling Hills with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a layered, material-focused room. It is especially well suited to studies, mudrooms, kitchens, or cabinetry where a restrained natural color can add definition without feeling overly dark.

LRV of Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills has an LRV of 24.55% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 24.55%, 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.
