Benjamin Moore

Pine Grove

511

Pine Grove is a dark olive with warm undertones that can read more brown-green under warm artificial light. Its LRV of 19.28 makes it a deep shade that holds weight on walls and trim. It works well in dining rooms, libraries, and accent applications where a grounded olive is appropriate.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray to keep adjacent areas neutral and lighter. For added depth, use Benjamin Moore Black or a deeper gray, and consider a warm tan from the same range to bridge into lighter spaces.

Pine Grove in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
