Benjamin Moore

Dragonwell

CSP-930

Dragonwell is a dark, warm tone with strong olive undertones that give it an earthy, yellow-green character. It registers an LRV of 21.86, placing it in the low-to-mid reflectance range, so it will moderately absorb light in a space. This color is appropriate for accent walls, cabinetry, or feature areas in both traditional and contemporary settings.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan and White Sand for lighter contrast, Hale Navy for a complementary deep accent, and Saybrook Sage for an analogous green combination.
