Olympus Green

679

Olympus Green by Benjamin Moore is a deep blue-green with cool undertones that give it a dense, saturated presence on walls. At an LRV of 9.49, it absorbs most ambient light, which means it reads as a dark, moody tone best suited for accent walls, studies, or living rooms with strong natural or artificial light sources. The blue component is pronounced enough to distinguish it from pure greens.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Teal Ocean, and Sea Star for schemes ranging from high-contrast neutral to cohesive cool-toned arrangements.

Olympus Green 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.
