What color is Benjamin Moore Topsoil?

Benjamin Moore Topsoil CC-692 is a deep, muted green-gray with a grounded, low-saturation appearance. Its subtle olive cast keeps it from reading like a flat charcoal, while the dark value gives walls and cabinetry noticeable weight. In bright natural light, this shade can show more of its softened green character; under warm artificial light, it may appear closer to a smoky dark neutral. Use Topsoil on a study, dining room, mudroom cabinetry, or exterior trim where a darker color can define the architecture. It pairs well with warm white, weathered oak, aged brass, black metal, and stone finishes with beige or charcoal variation.

Topsoil has an LRV of 7.56% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect lightWhy LRV is important?

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 7.56%, 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.
