What color is Benjamin Moore Vienna Green?
Benjamin Moore Vienna Green 538 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft olive cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its moderate lightness makes it feel airy on broad walls, while the subdued saturation gives it a slightly weathered, natural look. In warm daylight, Vienna Green can read greener and sunnier; under cooler artificial light, its gray-olive side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, garden-facing bedrooms, or painted cabinetry paired with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and oatmeal-colored textiles. For contrast, use this shade alongside deeper forest greens, charcoal gray, or a muted clay red.

LRV of Vienna Green
Vienna Green has an LRV of 40.26% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 40.26%, 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.
