What color is Benjamin Moore Southfield Green?
Benjamin Moore Southfield Green HC-129 is a muted mid-tone green with a gently cool cast and enough grayness to keep it from reading bright or overly leafy. Its soft green body can feel a little fresher in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its quieter, more subdued side. Use it on bedroom, bath, or living room walls where a noticeable color is wanted without a heavy finish. Southfield Green also has the depth for painted cabinetry or a front door, especially alongside creamy whites, pale wood, brushed nickel, and warm stone.

LRV of Southfield Green
Southfield Green has an LRV of 36.74% 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 36.74%, 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.
