Benjamin Moore

Natural Elements

1515 / OC-43

Benjamin Moore Natural Elements (1515) is a light off-white with subdued green undertones that keep it from reading as purely warm or cool. With an LRV of 68.93, it reflects a substantial amount of light while maintaining enough depth to avoid looking flat on walls. The green cast becomes more noticeable in rooms with abundant natural light.

It pairs well with Cloud White (OC-130) and Floral White (OC-29) for trim, while Greyhound (1579) and Blue Danube (2062-30) provide contrasting depth. Sage Wisdom (CSP-775) reinforces its green leanings in a tonal scheme.

Natural Elements in Different Light
