Benjamin Moore

Brazilian Rainforest

651

Brazilian Rainforest is a deep emerald green with cool undertones. The LRV of 10.04 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads dark and saturated on walls. It can be used for libraries, dining rooms, or an accent wall where a dark green is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove for strong contrast, and with Fernwood Green or Tranquil Blue for related cool tones; Autumn Cover can add warm counterpoint.

Brazilian Rainforest 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.
