What color is Benjamin Moore Trailing Vines?

Benjamin Moore Trailing Vines 1505 is a muted olive-gray with an earthy, low-saturation character. Its green undertone is softened by a noticeable gray cast, keeping the color grounded rather than bright or yellow. In daylight, it can read as a quiet mossy neutral, while warmer artificial lighting may bring out its olive side more clearly. This mid-depth shade suits studies, mudrooms, kitchens, or built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and stone. Pair it with charcoal, deep brown, or soft clay accents for a layered palette with substance.

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 13.5%, 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.
