Benjamin Moore

Once Upon a Time

574

Once Upon a Time by Benjamin Moore is a deep emerald green with cool undertones and a saturated, jewel-like depth. Its LRV of 21.23 means it absorbs a considerable amount of light, lending richness to dining rooms, living rooms, and studies when paired with adequate lighting. The cool green base keeps the color from feeling heavy or muddy.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, Wythe Blue, and Saybrook Sage, allowing for balanced schemes that range from high-contrast pairings to analogous cool green arrangements.
