What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Thaw?

Benjamin Moore Spring Thaw 1508 is a light, muted gray-beige with a noticeable soft yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, plaster-like look, especially in rooms with natural wood or woven textures. In bright daylight, Spring Thaw can appear pale and softly warm, while lower light may bring out its subdued olive-gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without the starkness of a pure gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or dusty green textiles for a grounded palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Spring Thaw undertones?

Spring Thaw 1508 reads as a light, highly muted neutral with a soft yellow-green cast that keeps it from looking like a straightforward gray. The supplied digital color sample shows only a subtle hue bias, so its undertone can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as having soft notes of gray and green, which fits its muted neutral appearance while the visible yellow direction adds a faint warmth. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed warmth, while cool daylight can make its gray-green side more noticeable.

LRV of Spring Thaw

Spring Thaw has an LRV of 61.98% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 61.98%, 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.
