Benjamin Moore

Green Grove

2138-20

Green Grove is a dark olive green with warm, earthy undertones that lean toward brown and yellow. With an LRV of 9.72, this is a low-reflectance color that creates visual weight and works best in rooms with sufficient lighting such as dining rooms, libraries, or powder rooms where a grounded atmosphere is appropriate. The warm undertones distinguish it from cooler forest greens.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove for crisp trim contrast, Revere Pewter for warm neutrality, Kendall Charcoal for depth, Hale Navy as a complementary dark tone, and Hawthorne Yellow for an earthy accent.
