What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Break?

Benjamin Moore Spring Break 627 is a softened green with a noticeable gray cast and a light-to-medium depth. Its muted character keeps the color from reading overly leafy or bright, while the slight coolness gives it a clean, airy appearance in daylight. In warmer artificial light, Spring Break can look a little more subdued and earthy. It suits bedroom, bathroom, or mudroom walls, and it also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or a quiet exterior accent. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, weathered brass, charcoal, or dusty blue-gray textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Spring Break

Spring Break has an LRV of 46.1% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 46.1%, 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.
