Benjamin Moore

Backwoods

469 / CC-630

Backwoods is a blackened forest green with a subtle warm undertone that keeps it from reading purely cool. An LRV of 12.68 indicates low reflectance, so it appears very dark on walls. Warm light brings out the yellow-green base.

It is suitable for libraries, dining rooms, or built-ins where a deep green is required. Pair it with Simply White, Silver Sage, and Lenox Tan to keep the palette balanced.
