Benjamin Moore

Mediterranean Olive

2142-10

Mediterranean Olive is a dark, low-saturation green with golden-yellow undertones embedded in its base. With an LRV of 11.05, it absorbs most ambient light, placing it firmly in the deep end of the value scale. The golden undertone is what separates it from cooler, bluer dark greens, lending it an organic, sun-warmed quality.

A brown cast further grounds the hue, keeping it earthy rather than jewel-toned. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Icicle (2142-70) and White Dove (OC-17) for high-contrast pairings, Gray Mirage (2142-50) for tonal range, and Fieldstone (1558) for warmth.
