Benjamin Moore

Dune Grass

492 / TH-160

Dune Grass is a pale, silvery green with clear green undertones softened by a gray-beige base. It has an LRV of 66.62, making it a high-reflectance color that will brighten most rooms while maintaining a distinct tint. The green cast is subdued enough to function as a near-neutral in well-lit spaces.

It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and other areas where a light, muted wall color is desired. For same-brand coordination, Benjamin Moore's Sea Foam and Pale Vista provide analogous pairings, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal supply darker contrast.

Dune Grass 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.
