What color is Benjamin Moore Wasabi?
Benjamin Moore Wasabi AF-430 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a softly burnished, mid-tone depth. Its golden undertone keeps it from reading overly cool, while the green presence gives it more character than a standard khaki or mustard. In bright daylight, Wasabi can appear sunnier and slightly more yellow; under warmer evening lighting, it settles into a deeper, mossy olive. It makes a grounded choice for a dining room, mudroom, library, or kitchen cabinetry, especially alongside warm white walls and natural oak. Pair it with matte black hardware, aged brass, terracotta tile, or creamy linen fabrics to bring out its organic, slightly vintage-leaning character.

LRV of Wasabi
Wasabi has an LRV of 37.35% 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 37.35%, 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.
