What color is Benjamin Moore Rushing River?

Benjamin Moore Rushing River 1574 is a muted mid-tone green-gray with a soft, weathered cast. Its green presence is noticeable but restrained, while the gray content keeps it from reading overly botanical or bright. In daylight, this shade can appear like a dusty sage, while lower or cooler light may bring its gray undertone forward. It is especially well suited to bedrooms, living rooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair Rushing River with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or creamy stone for a layered, material-focused interior.

What are Benjamin Moore Rushing River undertones?

Rushing River reads as a midtone, very muted green-gray with low saturation and a soft, subdued overall character. In the supplied digital color, the green direction is visible but subtle, with a slight yellow-green cast rather than a strong or vivid green. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a subtle green hue with a cool gray undertone,” which fits its visibly grayed green main family. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly softer, yellower side, while cool daylight can make the gray-green character appear more noticeable.

LRV of Rushing River

Rushing River has an LRV of 30.46% 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 30.46%, 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.
