What color is Benjamin Moore Stokes Forest Green?
Benjamin Moore Stokes Forest Green 2035-40 is a mid-tone green with a softened, slightly blue-leaning cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than overly earthy. Its moderate saturation gives walls clear color presence while retaining an easy, painted-plaster feel in daylight. In north-facing rooms, this shade may read a little cooler and more subdued; warmer bulbs can bring out its gentler green character. Use it on a home office, mudroom, or built-in cabinetry with warm white trim, pale oak, and brushed brass hardware.

LRV of Stokes Forest Green
Stokes Forest Green has an LRV of 36.39% 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 36.39%, 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.
