What color is Benjamin Moore Yorktowne Green?
Benjamin Moore Yorktowne Green HC-133 is a deep, muted blue-green with a distinctly cool cast. Its grayed-down quality keeps the color from reading bright or overly teal, giving it a grounded, architectural presence. In brighter natural light, the blue-green notes become clearer, while dimmer rooms can make this shade appear closer to charcoal with a subtle green-blue edge. It suits cabinetry, built-ins, exterior siding, or a study wall where a darker color feels intentional rather than heavy. Pair Yorktowne Green with soft off-whites, weathered oak, black metal, and warm brass for contrast against its cool depth.

What are Benjamin Moore Yorktowne Green undertones?
Yorktowne Green reads as a deep, very muted teal, with blue and green balanced under a noticeable gray cast. The digital sample shows a subtle cool blue-green bias, but it is restrained enough that surrounding colors and lighting can influence how it reads. Benjamin Moore describes it as a dark teal with pronounced notes of blue, green, and gray, which matches its visible blue-green main color family rather than defining one fixed undertone. Warm artificial light may make it look less blue and slightly more subdued, while cool daylight can bring its blue-green character forward.

LRV of Yorktowne Green
Yorktowne Green has an LRV of 11.1% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.1%, 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.
