Benjamin Moore

Douglas Fir

2028-20

Douglas Fir is a saturated, verdant green with distinct yellow undertones that give it a warm, organic quality. It has an LRV of 32, meaning it absorbs a substantial amount of light and reads as a mid-to-deep tone on walls. This color is well suited to spaces intended to feel grounded and connected to nature.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Pale Avocado or Timothy Straw for an analogous scheme. Midnight Navy or New London Burgundy offer strong contrast. Creamy White or Ballet White work as lighter counterpoints.
