Benjamin Moore

Alligator Alley

441

Alligator Alley from Benjamin Moore is a dark forest green with cool undertones that carry a slight gray cast, preventing it from looking overly saturated. Its LRV of 15.2 means it absorbs most of the light in a room, so it reads best in spaces with adequate natural or layered artificial lighting. It is a functional choice for accent walls, built-in shelving, or libraries where a darker backdrop helps other elements stand forward.

White Dove and Manchester Tan work as lighter trim pairings, and Gray Owl offers a mid-tone neutral for adjacent surfaces. Palladian Blue provides a cooler transition, while Caliente can serve as a sharp warm accent.

Alligator Alley 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.
