Benjamin Moore

Dakota Woods Green

2139-20

Dakota Woods Green is a deep olive with a warm undertone and an LRV of 9.7, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and reads noticeably dark on the wall. The warmth in this green keeps it from feeling cold, giving it a grounded, earthy quality. It works well on accent walls or in smaller rooms where a concentrated color effect is wanted.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Edgecomb Gray to offset the depth, or use Tate Olive and Camouflage for a tonal, nature-based scheme. Hale Navy provides strong contrast alongside it.
