Benjamin Moore

Evening Grove

1526

Evening Grove is a deep warm green with noticeable brown undertones that give it an earthy, muted character. It has an LRV of 13.72, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a dark, grounding tone on walls. This color is well suited for dens, home offices, or living rooms where a low-key backdrop is needed.

It coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Dove or Linen White for contrast, and works alongside Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, or Warm Sienna for a layered scheme.

Evening Grove 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.
