What color is Benjamin Moore Taffeta Green?
Benjamin Moore Taffeta Green 843 is a light, softly muted green with a faint blue cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than yellow. Its pale value gives walls an airy appearance, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, and sunlit sitting areas. In bright daylight, this color can read as a clean, delicate green, while lower or cooler light may bring out more of its gray-blue softness. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed nickel for a quiet, natural palette. Taffeta Green also suits cabinetry or a painted ceiling when a subtle wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark.

LRV of Taffeta Green
Taffeta Green has an LRV of 75.05% 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 75.05%, 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.
