What color is Benjamin Moore Smoke Bush?
Benjamin Moore Smoke Bush 1519 is a muted, medium-depth earthy neutral with olive-brown and soft khaki undertones. Its subdued saturation keeps it grounded rather than yellow, giving walls a quiet, natural presence. In brighter daylight, the olive cast may read more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its brown, slightly smoky side. Use it in a study, dining room, mudroom, or on cabinetry where a deeper neutral can add definition without feeling stark. Smoke Bush pairs well with warm white trim, aged brass, dark wood, black accents, and natural materials such as linen, leather, and woven rattan.

LRV of Smoke Bush
Smoke Bush has an LRV of 21% 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 21%, 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.
