Dried Basil

1510 / CC-634

Dried Basil is a gray-green with muted, herb-like undertones that lean slightly warm. It has an LRV of 38.98, placing it in the medium range for light reflectance, so it reads distinctly on walls without making a room feel dark. The gray component tempers the green, producing a subdued, earthy tone suitable for kitchens, living rooms, or bedrooms.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Balboa Mist, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Saybrook Sage. Use it where a grounded, nature-derived neutral is needed.

Dried Basil in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
