What color is Benjamin Moore Soft Fern?
Benjamin Moore Soft Fern 2144-40 is a light, muted yellow-green with a softly grayed cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its pale value gives walls a gentle wash of color, while the olive-beige undertone adds more warmth than a crisp mint or blue-green would. In daylight, Soft Fern can look airy and botanical; under warmer lamps, its yellowed undertones become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, and mudrooms, especially alongside creamy whites, natural oak, linen textiles, and aged brass. Use this shade on full walls for a quiet color foundation or on cabinetry where a subdued green is wanted without strong saturation.

LRV of Soft Fern
Soft Fern has an LRV of 56.67% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.67%, 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.
