Benjamin Moore

Bonsai

CC-666

Bonsai is a deep mossy green with a brown undertone. With an LRV of 12.75, it is a dark shade that reads grounded in most lighting. It can be used in studies, libraries, or cabinetry where an earthy green is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Caliente for stronger accents; Guilford Green or October Mist can keep the palette within green.

Bonsai in Different Light
