Benjamin Moore
Basil Green
2029-10
Basil Green is a saturated medium green with a straightforward undertone that keeps it natural. Its LRV of 23.01 places it in a darker mid-range, so it reads deep on walls. Warm light shifts it slightly yellower.
It is suitable for kitchens, dining areas, or accent walls where a strong green is needed. Pair it with Cedar Green and Forest Floor for related tones, and add Chantilly Lace or Hale Navy for contrast.
