Benjamin Moore

Mellowed Ivory

2149-50

Mellowed Ivory (2149-50) is a muted yellow-green neutral with golden and olive undertones that distinguish it from standard beige. With an LRV of 64.46, it sits in the mid-to-high reflectance range, providing warmth without excessive brightness. The green undertone keeps it from reading as purely yellow, giving it a khaki-adjacent quality in certain lighting conditions.

It pairs effectively with Chantilly Lace OC-65 for a crisp white trim, Salamander 2050-10 for a deep green accent, and Van Deusen Blue HC-156 for a grounded contrast that draws out its warm, earthy character.
