What color is Benjamin Moore Thicket?

Benjamin Moore Thicket AF-405 is a muted olive-khaki with a softly weathered, earthy cast. Its #A1A07E value reads as a medium-light neutral, with yellow-green undertones that keep it warmer than a true gray. In bright daylight, Thicket can appear more straw-like and subdued, while lower or cooler light brings out its olive depth. It gives living rooms, studies, and kitchens a grounded wall color that feels connected to natural materials. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, oak, linen, and deep charcoal accents for contrast. This shade is also well suited to cabinetry or a painted exterior detail where a low-saturation green neutral is wanted.

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 34%, 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.
