Benjamin Moore

Peale Green

HC-121

Peale Green is a deep, muted forest green with cool blue-gray undertones. Its low LRV of 14.15 gives it substantial depth and weight, making it suitable for cabinetry, libraries, or accent walls. The color remains grounded and does not read yellow.

It works best in spaces with adequate light or as a contrast color. Peale Green pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Ivory White, while deep navy, charcoal, or warm terracotta tones provide complementary contrast.
