Benjamin Moore

Gothic Green

637

Gothic Green is a dark forest green with cool blue undertones that create a shaded, muted appearance. With an LRV of 15.93, it reflects minimal light and adds visual weight to a space, making it appropriate for studies, dining rooms, or accent walls. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for stark contrast, Soft Chamois for warm balance, Hale Navy for a deep tonal combination, and Rosemary Green for an analogous green scheme.

Gothic Green in Different Light
