Benjamin Moore

Medieval Times

530

Medieval Times is an olive green with clear yellow undertones that pull it toward a warm, herbaceous tone. With an LRV of 33.53, it reflects a moderate amount of light, placing it in the mid-range where it reads as distinctly colored rather than dark or muted. The yellow content prevents the green from feeling cool, while a slight gray cast keeps it from becoming too bright.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore Seashell (OC-120) and White Dove (OC-17) for neutral contrast, Passion Vine (1504) for complementary depth, and Stingray (1529) for a grounded, tonal pairing.

Medieval Times in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
