What color is Benjamin Moore Surf Green?
Benjamin Moore Surf Green 2036-60 is a pale mint green with a clean, lightly blue-leaning cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green remains visible enough to give white trim a crisp contrast. In daylight, this shade can read fresh and softly cool; warmer bulbs may bring out a gentler, creamier side of the mint. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, and children’s spaces, especially alongside warm white, light oak, woven natural fibers, or pale gray tile. Use Surf Green on walls for a washed, open look, or on a painted dresser or cabinet front when a subtle color accent is wanted.

LRV of Surf Green
Surf Green has an LRV of 76.39% 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 76.39%, 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.
