Benjamin Moore

Ivy League

516

Ivy League is a mid-depth olive green with noticeable yellow-brown warmth running through it. At an LRV of 26.41, it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads as a rich, earthy tone rather than a bright or botanical green. The warm undertones push it toward khaki territory in strong natural light, while lower light conditions draw out the green more clearly.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Black Pepper, Gray Owl, Fernwood Green, White Dove, and Tate Olive for schemes that balance depth with lighter relief.
