What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Bud?
Benjamin Moore Spring Bud 520 is a pale, muted yellow-green with a softly chalky cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the restrained color gives it more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, Spring Bud can read as a gentle leafy tint; under warmer bulbs, its yellow undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, mudrooms, and bedrooms where a quiet hint of color is wanted without a strong pastel effect. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and soft clay or muted blue accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Spring Bud
Spring Bud has an LRV of 73.53% and refers to Off‑White 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 73.53%, 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.
