What color is Benjamin Moore Waterbury Green?
Benjamin Moore Waterbury Green HC-136 is a muted blue-green with a cool, lightly grayed cast and medium depth. Its balanced mix of green and blue keeps it from reading overly minty or overly teal, giving walls a grounded color presence without feeling too dark. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its softer, more subdued green side. It suits bathrooms, mudrooms, dining rooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural stone. For contrast, pair Waterbury Green with deep charcoal accents or a warm clay-toned textile.

What are Benjamin Moore Waterbury Green undertones?
Waterbury Green reads as a midtone, muted teal-green with moderate depth rather than a bright or highly saturated look. The supplied digital sample appears slightly green-leaning within its teal family, while Benjamin Moore describes it as “a lush green with a healthy dose of blue,” which fits the visible blue influence in the green. In warm artificial light, its blue cast may be less noticeable and the color can read greener; in cool daylight, the teal-blue side may show more clearly.

LRV of Waterbury Green
Waterbury Green has an LRV of 25.78% 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 25.78%, 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.
