Benjamin Moore

Bavarian Forest

2054-10

Bavarian Forest is a very dark green with cool undertones that keep it deep. Its LRV of 6.66 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads near-black on walls. Warm light brings the green undertone forward slightly.

It is suitable for libraries, dining rooms, or accent walls where a deep green is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for contrast, and add Aegean Teal or Dinner Party for coordination.

Bavarian Forest 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.
