What color is Benjamin Moore Terrapin Green?

Benjamin Moore Terrapin Green 2145-20 is a muted, medium-depth olive green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it earthy rather than blue or gray. Its softened saturation gives walls a grounded look, while the depth is strong enough to define cabinetry, a dining room, or a study. In bright daylight, the yellow-green character may read more clearly; lower or warmer light can pull it toward a deeper, more subdued olive. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, warm putty neutrals, aged brass, natural oak, and cognac leather for a layered palette. On trim or built-ins, Terrapin Green adds weight without the near-black effect of a much darker green.

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 25.24%, 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.
