Benjamin Moore

G.I. Green

2149-20

G.I. Green is an earthy green with ochre and olive undertones that create a warm, muted character. At an LRV of 22.9, this shade absorbs considerable light, making it appropriate for accent walls or rooms with ample natural light.

The yellow-brown undertones prevent it from reading as a true green, giving it a more neutral quality. Compatible colors include Benjamin Moore White Sand, Muslin, Hale Navy, Revere Pewter, and Simply White, which can be used as trim or ceiling colors to balance its depth.
