What color is Benjamin Moore Sherwood Forest?
Benjamin Moore Sherwood Forest 2048-10 is a deep blue-green with a cool, heavily saturated teal character. Its near-black depth gives it strong presence on cabinetry, doors, built-ins, or a small powder room, where the color can feel especially rich without taking over a larger space. In bright daylight, the green and blue notes become clearer; under warm evening lighting, it reads darker and more subdued. Pair Sherwood Forest with crisp off-white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or warm stone to keep the scheme grounded. For a bolder look, use it alongside muted clay, rust, or deep navy accents rather than competing bright colors.

LRV of Sherwood Forest
Sherwood Forest has an LRV of 7.41% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.41%, 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.
