Benjamin Moore

Green Tea

236 / TH-80

Green Tea is an earthy neutral with warm brown and olive undertones that read as a muted khaki-green. With an LRV of 27.83, this color falls in the lower-mid range for light reflectance, providing a grounded presence without being dark. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where a subdued, natural tone is appropriate.

The warm undertones make it compatible with wood tones and leather. This color works with Benjamin Moore White Dove for contrast, Simply White for brightness, Hale Navy for depth, Kendall Charcoal for grounding, and Saybrook Sage for an analogous green pairing.

Green Tea in Different Light
