Benjamin Moore

Galápagos Green

475 / CC-600

Galapagos Green is a deep green with earthy gray undertones, registering an LRV of 21.49. This muted green absorbs significant light, making it best suited for well-lit rooms or as an accent color in studies, dining rooms, or living spaces. The gray cast softens its appearance and prevents it from reading too saturated.

Pair with Benjamin Moore White Dove for clean contrast, Simply White on trim, Revere Pewter in adjacent spaces, Hale Navy for complementary depth, or Hawthorne Yellow to highlight the warm undertones.
