Benjamin Moore

Ponderosa Pine

531

Ponderosa Pine from Benjamin Moore is a warm, yellow-leaning green with an LRV of 30.85, registering as a medium-depth tone. Its undertones carry noticeable golden-olive warmth rather than cool blue-green, giving it an earthy, muted character on walls. This shade suits living rooms, dens, and transitional spaces where a grounded, nature-derived palette is appropriate.

It pairs well with White Dove for clean trim contrast, Simply White on ceilings, Hale Navy as a deep complementary accent, Kendall Charcoal for a bold pairing, and Shaker Beige on adjacent walls to reinforce its warm base.
