Benjamin Moore

Nature's Scenery

1524 / HC-98

Benjamin Moore Nature's Scenery (1524) is a medium neutral defined by a blend of brown and green undertones, placing it in the khaki-olive range. With an LRV of 35.44, it occupies the lower-mid reflectance zone, substantial enough to give walls visual weight without becoming overly dark. The dual brown-green base shifts depending on surrounding colors and light source.

Cotton Balls (OC-122) and Floral White (OC-29) serve as lighter trim or ceiling pairings, while Early Morning Mist (1528) is a close tonal neighbor. Deep Space (2125-20) provides a bold, dark contrast for accents.
