Benjamin Moore

Tea Light

471 / CC-610

Tea Light (471) is a softly muted celadon green from Benjamin Moore with cool gray-green undertones. At an LRV of 60.09, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, reading as a quiet, low-saturation green with noticeable gray influence. In cooler lighting, the gray undertone becomes more prominent, while warmer light draws out its green base.

It sits comfortably alongside White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Pale Sea Mist, and Kendall Charcoal from the Benjamin Moore palette, where it functions as a restrained mid-tone green among both light and dark neighbors.

Tea Light 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.
