Garden Cucumber

How Garden Cucumber behaves on a wall

Benjamin Moore publishes a light reflectance value of 33.3 for this shade. At LRV 33.3 this sits mid-scale — dark enough to hold its own against white trim, light enough not to close a room in. Mid-tones shift the most between daylight and lamplight, so check it at both ends of the day. For trim that reads as a clear edge rather than a smudge, aim about 30 LRV points away — roughly LRV 63 and up. With 30 points between its strongest and weakest channel it holds a readable green cast, so it will not flatten into a neutral once it is on four walls. Order by the code, not the name, and put a test patch on the wall before you commit — a screen cannot show you how this shade behaves in your own light.
