Benjamin Moore

Herb Garden

434

Herb Garden is a deep forest green with yellow undertones that add warmth to its otherwise dark profile. With an LRV of 17.06, this is a low-reflectance color that absorbs significant light. The yellow undertone prevents it from reading as cold or purely neutral.

Benjamin Moore's Simply White and Swiss Coffee provide necessary contrast when used on trim. Fernwood Green and Saybrook Sage offer lighter green options for transitions. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal can work alongside for a deep, coordinated palette. This shade suits dining rooms and accent walls.

Herb Garden in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
