Benjamin Moore

Nature Lover

CC-726 / 473

Benjamin Moore Nature Lover (CC-726) is a medium-depth green with warm undertones that push it toward sage rather than toward cooler, blue-based greens. With an LRV of 38.79, it absorbs more light than it reflects, giving it a grounded, mid-tone presence on walls. The warm base keeps the color from feeling stark.

Oxford White (CC-30) and Swiss Coffee (OC-45) provide lighter foils, while Caldwell Green (HC-124) deepens the green direction for adjacent accents. Whirlpool (CC-910) introduces a contrasting cool note, and Cushing Green (HC-125) offers a darker, more muted green companion.

Nature Lover in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
