Benjamin Moore

Cypress Green

509

Cypress Green is a warm olive tone tempered by gray undertones, producing a muted, earthy mid-range green. It has an LRV of 35.09, placing it in the medium-light range where it absorbs a moderate amount of light without feeling heavy. The gray influence keeps the olive from reading too saturated, giving it a grounded, natural quality.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore neutrals such as White Dove and Classic Gray, which draw out its warmth. Deeper pairings like Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate provide strong contrast against its subdued green base.
