Benjamin Moore

Enchanted Forest

700

Enchanted Forest is a dark green distinguished by a prominent gray cast and cool undertones. With an LRV of 15.96, it absorbs most ambient light and will make surfaces appear darker and more recessed. The gray undertone mutes the green, reducing its saturation and producing a more neutral-leaning result.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl, White Dove, Aegean Teal, Saybrook Sage, and Kendall Charcoal. Adequate artificial lighting is recommended in rooms where this color is applied to all walls.

Enchanted Forest 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.
