Benjamin Moore

Baby Turtle

515

Baby Turtle is a warm olive with green-brown undertones that keep it muted. Its LRV of 39.61 gives it mid-range depth and a subdued read on walls. Warm lighting pulls the brown undertone slightly forward.

It is suitable for studies, dining rooms, or cabinetry where an earthy neutral is needed. Pair it with Natural Wicker and Revere Pewter for lighter balance, and add Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast.

Baby Turtle 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.
