What color is Benjamin Moore Waller Green?

Benjamin Moore Waller Green CW-510 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable charcoal cast and subtle olive undertones. Its low brightness gives walls a grounded, shadowy look, especially in rooms with limited natural light. In brighter daylight, the green becomes clearer while still reading as restrained rather than vivid. Use it on a study, dining room, library-style built-ins, or exterior trim when a dark architectural color is needed. Waller Green pairs naturally with warm white paint, aged brass, walnut, blackened steel, and soft tan linens.

What are Benjamin Moore Waller Green undertones?

Waller Green reads as a very deep, heavily muted green with a subtle yellow-green lean in the supplied digital sample. Its undertone is best described as a slight relative yellow influence within the dominant green family, rather than a clearly separate color. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “smokey” deep green with an aged-verdigris look, which fits its dark, softened green character. Warm artificial light may make its slight yellow-green bias more noticeable, while cool daylight may keep it looking more restrained and green-gray.

LRV of Waller Green

Waller Green has an LRV of 6.14% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why 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 6.14%, 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.
