Benjamin Moore

Oregano

2147-10

Oregano by Benjamin Moore is a deep, herbaceous green with noticeable golden undertones that give it an earthy, grounded quality. It registers a Light Reflectance Value of 22.57, placing it in the darker range and making it well suited for accent walls, dining rooms, or living spaces where depth is needed. The golden base prevents it from reading too cool, allowing it to work in both north- and south-facing rooms.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Sand, Gentle Cream, Herb Garden, Evening Sky, and Dijon, which balance or reinforce its warm green character.
