Benjamin Moore

Oak Grove

489

Oak Grove is a dark moss green from Benjamin Moore that carries strong earthy, olive-leaning undertones. Its LRV of 20.18 means it absorbs considerable light, producing a dense, enclosed effect suitable for libraries, living rooms, and accent walls where a darker atmosphere is intended. The color has enough brown content to read as a natural, muted green rather than a vivid one.

It pairs functionally with Simply White and Manchester Tan to offset its depth, while Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Golden Honey offer supporting contrast across warm and cool directions.
