Benjamin Moore

Nile Green

2035-30

Nile Green by Benjamin Moore is a medium-toned green with subtle blue undertones that give it a cooler, more grounded character than a pure leaf green. Its LRV of 18.83 keeps it in the lower-mid reflectance range, so it reads as a rich, saturated color on walls without appearing overly dark. It works well in living rooms, libraries, and bedrooms where a quieter green is preferred over a bright one.

The blue undertone becomes more apparent under cool-white lighting. Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, Pale Avocado, and Silver Mist pair well across contrasting and analogous schemes.

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.
