Benjamin Moore

Hiking Path

524

Hiking Path is a deep olive green with golden undertones that add warmth to its earthy base. With an LRV of 30.12, this color offers moderate absorption and works well in living rooms and studies where a natural, grounded atmosphere is desired. The golden cast softens the green, giving it a complex, layered quality.

This shade coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Revere Pewter, and Edgecomb Gray for neutral balance. Black Forest Green and Kendall Charcoal offer deeper options, while Kingsport Gray provides warm tonal coordination.
