What color is Benjamin Moore Sweet Pea?

Benjamin Moore Sweet Pea 2031-30 is a bright, lively green with a clear yellow cast that gives it a fresh, leafy appearance. Its medium-light depth and strong saturation make it read as energetic rather than muted, especially in daylight. On walls, Sweet Pea can bring a playful burst of color to a mudroom, breakfast nook, child’s room, or garden-facing sunroom. It also makes a crisp accent on cabinetry, a painted door, or shelving when a full room feels like too much. Pair it with clean white trim, pale natural wood, woven textures, and charcoal or deep navy accents to give the green some visual grounding. In lower light, the shade may appear deeper and slightly more yellow-green than it does in a bright, sunlit space.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 41.14%, 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.
