Benjamin Moore

Agave

AF-420

Agave by Benjamin Moore is a yellow-green with noticeable yellow undertones that give it a warm, earthy quality. At an LRV of 37.42, it falls in the medium-dark range, absorbing a fair amount of light while still reading as a distinct color on walls. It works well in living rooms or kitchens where a grounded but lively tone is needed.

Within the Benjamin Moore lineup, it sits comfortably alongside White Dove for contrast, Pashmina for tonal warmth, Hale Navy for depth, and Green Wave or Soleil for analogous color continuity.
