Benjamin Moore

Pine Brook

490

Pine Brook is a deep forest green with warm undertones that can shift slightly olive in warmer light. Its LRV of 17.55 places it in the darker range, so it will feel heavier on large wall areas. It’s commonly used in studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms where a grounded green is preferred.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist or White Dove to keep surrounding areas lighter and neutral. For higher contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy works cleanly, and Dijon can introduce a controlled warm accent.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
