What color is Benjamin Moore Russell Green?
Benjamin Moore Russell Green CW-495 is a muted yellow-green with a grayed, earthy cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its medium-light depth gives walls color without making a room feel closed in, while the softened olive undertone adds a natural, slightly aged character. In bright daylight, Russell Green can appear more botanical and fresh; under warm lamps, it settles into a warmer khaki-olive. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and garden-facing bedrooms, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and clay-toned accents. Use this shade on cabinetry or an exterior door when you want a restrained green that still has visible presence.
LRV of Russell Green
Russell Green has an LRV of 38.58% 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 38.58%, 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.
