What color is Benjamin Moore Steamed Spinach?
Benjamin Moore Steamed Spinach 643 is a deep blue-green with a cool, slightly muted character. Its #407465 value gives it enough depth for cabinetry, a dining room, or a study, while the green keeps it from reading as a straightforward navy. In daylight, the blue-green cast is more noticeable; under warmer lamps, it can appear darker and more forested. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, aged brass, or warm terracotta for contrast. On an exterior door or built-in, this shade creates a grounded focal point without the harshness of black.

LRV of Steamed Spinach
Steamed Spinach has an LRV of 15.61% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.61%, 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.
