What color is Benjamin Moore Scenic Drive?
Benjamin Moore Scenic Drive 697 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft and grounded. Its low saturation gives it a weathered, natural look rather than a bright botanical feel. In daylight, Scenic Drive can read as a calm eucalyptus green, while dimmer or cooler light may pull forward more of its silvery gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and living spaces where a subdued wall color is wanted without turning the room dark. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Scenic Drive
Scenic Drive has an LRV of 39.61% 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 39.61%, 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.
