Benjamin Moore

Mother Earth

376

Mother Earth (376) is a rich golden yellow tempered by noticeable green undertones, which pull it away from pure warmth and toward a more herbaceous, grounded character. With an LRV of 56.99, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a mid-tone in most settings. The green influence becomes more apparent in north-facing rooms or under cooler lighting.

This color coordinates well with Super Nova (1414) for a deeper gold accent, Athena (858) as a warm neutral, Sea View (836) for blue-green contrast, and Vanilla Milkshake (2141-70) for a soft, light complement.

Mother Earth in Different Light
