What color is Benjamin Moore Sullivan Green?
Benjamin Moore Sullivan Green 560 is a clear, medium green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than blue or forest-dark. Its #51A448 value gives it enough saturation to read as a confident color on a wall, especially in kitchens, mudrooms, sunrooms, or children’s spaces. In bright daylight, Sullivan Green can appear lively and leafy; under lower or warmer light, it takes on a slightly earthier green character. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, natural oak, woven textures, and terracotta for a grounded palette. For a smaller dose, this shade also brings energy to painted cabinetry, a front door, or built-in shelving.

LRV of Sullivan Green
Sullivan Green has an LRV of 28.36% 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 28.36%, 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.
