Benjamin Moore

Dark Linen

2147-60

Dark Linen is a soft yellow-green with an LRV of 80.2, making it a highly light-reflective color that reads as nearly neutral on walls. Its subtle green undertone keeps it from appearing purely cream, adding a slight coolness to what is otherwise a warm, pale tone. This level of reflectance makes it functional in rooms with limited natural light.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Pale Avocado and Windmill Wings for tonal consistency, while Deep River provides a grounding contrast. Chantilly Lace works as a clean trim companion.
