What color is Benjamin Moore Scotch Plains Green?

It has enough saturation to read clearly on walls without becoming overly bright, giving rooms a fresh, leafy presence. In daylight, Scotch Plains Green shows its cleaner teal-leaning side, while warm bulbs can make it appear slightly softer and more muted. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm brass.

LRV of Scotch Plains Green
Scotch Plains Green has an LRV of 29.54% 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 29.54%, 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.
