Benjamin Moore

Herbal Escape

1487

Herbal Escape is an olive-toned neutral with warm gray undertones, measuring an LRV of 39.97. This places it in the medium reflectance range with moderate depth. The gray content keeps the olive from appearing too yellow or green.

Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray coordinate well as fellow warm neutrals. Black Beauty and Charcoal Slate provide darker accents. Guilford Green extends the palette into greener territory, while Pashmina offers a complementary taupe option. This color works in living rooms and kitchens where an earthy neutral is needed.
