Benjamin Moore

Bed of Ferns

1511 / CC-632

Bed of Ferns is a muted green-brown with gray undertones that keep it earthy. Its LRV of 28.14 places it in a darker mid-range, so it reads solid on walls. Warm light brings the brown note forward.

It is suitable for studies, living rooms, or accent walls where a natural neutral is needed. Pair it with Natural Linen and Maritime White for tonal balance, and add Gray Owl or Black Tar for contrast.
