Buffett Green

CW-535

Buffett Green is a deep green with a blue undertone. The LRV of 10.56 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads dark and saturated on walls. It can be used in libraries, dining rooms, or built-ins where a cool green is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Vanilla Milkshake for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for depth; Hawthorne Yellow or Santorini Blue can add accent color.
