Benjamin Moore

Olive Moss

2147-20

Olive Moss by Benjamin Moore is a deep green with distinct golden undertones that give it an earthy, layered quality. At an LRV of 25.66, it absorbs a fair amount of light, which makes it most effective as an accent wall color or in rooms with ample natural light such as dining rooms and studies. The gold flecks in the hue prevent it from reading as a pure green, adding warmth and complexity.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore's Simply White, Manchester Tan, Pale Avocado, Fernwood Green, and Kendall Charcoal across both neutral and analogous palettes.
