Benjamin Moore

Lichen Green

2150-20

Lichen Green is a deep, earthy yellow-green with an LRV of 27.34, placing it in the lower-mid range of reflectance. Strong golden undertones dominate, while a green-brown base gives it a mossy, organic quality that reads more gold than green in warm lighting. White Sand provides a lighter neutral companion, and Night Train anchors the palette on the darker side.

Fernwood Green and Dune Grass extend the natural tone family, while Deep Caviar or Newburg Green deliver the contrast needed to define architectural details.
