What color is Benjamin Moore Thyme?
Benjamin Moore Thyme 2148-20 is a muted, medium-depth yellow-green with a warm, earthy cast. Its softened olive and ochre notes keep it from reading as bright green, giving walls a grounded, slightly weathered look. In bright daylight, Thyme can appear more golden and dry; under warmer evening lighting, its brownish olive side becomes more noticeable. It suits dining rooms, studies, mudrooms, and kitchen cabinetry, especially alongside cream trim, aged brass, natural oak, and stone with warm beige variation. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, soft black, or a restrained blue-gray.

LRV of Thyme
Thyme has an LRV of 25.45% and refers to Medium 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 25.45%, 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.
