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.

Backwoods 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.
