Benjamin Moore

Great Barrington Green

HC-122

Great Barrington Green is a deep mossy green with warm undertones. At an LRV of 21.39, it absorbs significant light and works best in studies, dining rooms, or accent applications where a deeper color is desired. The warm base keeps it from reading as too cool or stark.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Shaker Beige provide lighter contrast, Gettysburg Gray and Tate Olive offer analogous options that maintain the earthy tone, and New London Burgundy creates a complementary pairing.
