Benjamin Moore

Perfectly Pesto

CSP-895

Perfectly Pesto by Benjamin Moore is an earthy, muted green-gold with herbaceous undertones that give it a distinctly organic, olive-adjacent character. At an LRV of 20.52, it falls in the lower-medium reflectance range, making it well suited to kitchens, dining rooms, or studies where a grounded, natural tone is desired without total darkness. Its yellow-green base keeps it warm and slightly golden rather than cool.

For coordination, Benjamin Moore's Cloud Nine and Smoky Ash serve as lighter neutral companions, Van Deusen Blue provides a strong cool contrast, and Fernwood Green or Olive Tree allow for a tonal green scheme.
