Benjamin Moore

Pine Green

2051-20

Pine Green is a deep green with blue undertones that can read cooler as daylight increases. Its LRV of 10.15 makes it a low-reflectance color that will significantly darken a room unless balanced with lighter finishes. It’s commonly used in libraries, dining rooms, or as an accent on cabinetry and built-ins.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove for crisp contrast or Sea Foam for a lighter, related green. For deeper supporting tones, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy works well, and Aegean Teal can keep the palette in a cool range.
