What color is Benjamin Moore Sweet Celadon?
Benjamin Moore Sweet Celadon CSP-785 is a pale, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a gentle yellow undertone. Its light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading too minty or bright. In daylight, Sweet Celadon can appear like a faded green-gray; warmer bulbs tend to bring out its subtle leafy, almost olive-leaning warmth. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed brass. For more contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep moss green, or earthy terracotta accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Sweet Celadon undertones?
Sweet Celadon is a light, very muted yellow-green with an almost off-white depth and a soft wash of color rather than a strong green presence. In the supplied digital sample, the green and yellow bias is subtle, so it can read as a pale green-tinted neutral in many settings. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “the lightest suggestion of green,” which aligns with its visibly restrained green main family. Warm artificial light may bring forward its yellowish cast, while cool daylight can make the pale green note appear a little clearer.

LRV of Sweet Celadon
Sweet Celadon has an LRV of 70.62% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 70.62%, 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.
