Dill Weed

481

Dill Weed is a muted, mid-tone green with earthy yellow-gray undertones that recall the appearance of dried herbs. It has an LRV of 41.49, placing it in the moderate reflectance range suitable for rooms with adequate natural light. The color reads as a soft, grayed green that recedes slightly on walls without appearing dark.

For a coordinated scheme, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Fernwood Green, or Soft Fern. It functions well in kitchens, living rooms, and entryways alongside natural wood tones.
