Benjamin Moore

Palmer Green

CW-475

Palmer Green by Benjamin Moore is a deep green with brown undertones, historically linked to pigment combinations like Prussian blue, yellow ochre, and lamp black. Its Light Reflectance Value of 12.09 means it absorbs most light, producing a dark, enclosing effect best suited for studies, libraries, or dining rooms with strong lighting. The brown influence prevents the green from reading as purely cool, giving it an aged, earthy character.

Benjamin Moore's Mascarpone and Wind's Breath offer necessary lightness for trim and ceilings. Van Buren Brown and Gloucester Sage are tonal companions, while Hawthorne Yellow provides warm accent contrast.
