Benjamin Moore

Dark Olive

2140-30

Dark Olive is a deep, muted green with gray undertones and an LRV of 13.52, placing it in the low-reflectance range. Its cool, earthy tone reads as a grounded neutral-green on walls, absorbing significant light. Rooms with ample natural light or lighter furnishings help offset its visual density.

The gray cast keeps it subdued rather than overtly green, making it functional across both traditional and modern interiors. Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Swiss Coffee work as balancing trim colors, while pairing with warm taupe or dusty terracotta extends its natural palette.
