Providence Olive

HC-98 / 1524

Providence Olive by Benjamin Moore is a medium-depth neutral defined by a blend of brown and green undertones that ground it firmly in the earth-tone category. Its Light Reflectance Value of 35.44 places it in the mid-range, absorbing enough light to add weight to a room while still reading as a true mid-tone. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and home offices where a nature-referenced, composed backdrop is appropriate.

Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray pair naturally with its warm base, Hale Navy introduces a complementary contrast, and Palladian Blue or Hawthorne Yellow can highlight its green-brown character.
