Benjamin Moore

Gloucester Green

CW-440

Gloucester Green is a soft, muted green created from lamp black, verdigris, yellow ochre, and white, resulting in complex undertones. Its LRV of 63.37 provides good light reflection while maintaining subtlety, making it workable in living rooms, bedrooms, or studies. The yellow ochre component adds warmth that prevents it from reading too cool.

Compatible colors include Benjamin Moore Pale Sea Mist and White Sand for gentle coordination, Newburyport Blue for blue-green contrast, and Dinner Party for a deeper complementary accent.
