Benjamin Moore

Mustard Olive

2151-10

Mustard Olive is a deep, low-chroma shade where golden-yellow and olive-green undertones converge to produce a color that reads as dark gold in warm light and brownish green in cooler conditions. With an LRV of 23, it absorbs significantly more light than it reflects and functions best with ample natural or layered artificial lighting. The olive cast differentiates it from pure gold tones.

Benjamin Moore pairs it with Moonlight White 2143-60, Mountain Moss 2142-30, Steam AF-15, and Spa AF-435 to provide lightness and tonal contrast.
