Benjamin Moore

Rainforest Dew

2146-50

Rainforest Dew from Benjamin Moore is a light green with yellow undertones that lend it a warm, slightly golden cast. At an LRV of 74.45, it reflects a substantial amount of light and reads as bright and airy on walls, making it well suited for bedrooms, bathrooms, and sunrooms. The yellow influence prevents it from appearing minty or cool, keeping the overall impression warm and soft.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue for a cool green complement, Soft Fern for an analogous pairing, Hale Navy for strong contrast, Chantilly Lace for bright white trim, and Simply White for a clean adjacent surface.
