Benjamin Moore

Forest Floor

1498 / CC-570

Forest Floor is a deeply muted olive green that approaches charcoal gray in appearance. Its LRV of 13.57 makes it a dark, low-reflectance color suited for accent walls, entryways, or rooms where a moody atmosphere is intended. The green undertone remains subtle but distinguishes it from true grays under certain lighting.

This color works with Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage, Nantucket Gray, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, and other neutrals that can either highlight its green cast or provide clean contrast.

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.
