What color is Benjamin Moore Tea Light?
Benjamin Moore Tea Light 471 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly minty, giving walls a gently weathered, almost mineral appearance. In bright daylight, Tea Light can look cleaner and slightly greener, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its subdued olive side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents, deep forest green, or earthy clay-toned textiles.

LRV of Tea Light
Tea Light has an LRV of 60.09% 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 60.09%, 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.
