What color is Benjamin Moore Salisbury Green?
Benjamin Moore Salisbury Green HC-139 is a soft, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a gentle yellow-green undertone. Its light, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading too leafy or bright, giving walls a quiet, weathered look instead. In north-facing rooms, Salisbury Green may appear cooler and more gray, while warm daylight and incandescent lighting can bring forward its subtle olive warmth. It suits bedrooms, mudrooms, kitchens, and painted cabinetry, particularly alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or honed stone. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, muted navy, or dark brown accents rather than sharp black.

LRV of Salisbury Green
Salisbury Green has an LRV of 46.39% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 46.39%, 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.
