Benjamin Moore

Victorian Garden

1531

Victorian Garden (Benjamin Moore) is a warm neutral with a green undertone that distinguishes it from standard taupes and khakis. At an LRV of 35.15, it falls in the mid-range of light reflectance, reading neither light nor dark but carrying enough depth to anchor a wall without overwhelming a room. The green shift is subtle and most visible in natural daylight, where it pulls the color away from a straight gray-brown reading.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's Cedar Key, Shaker Beige, Hale Navy, Guilford Green, and Palladian Blue for cohesive or contrasting arrangements.

Victorian Garden 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.
