Benjamin Moore

Rainforest Foliage

2040-10

Rainforest Foliage is a deep, saturated green from Benjamin Moore with pronounced cool undertones that lend it a grounded, natural character. At an LRV of 9.28, it reflects very little light, producing a dense, enveloping effect well suited to accent walls, libraries, dens, and other smaller rooms where a concentrated color presence is appropriate. The gray-green base keeps it from reading as overly bright.

It works effectively alongside Benjamin Moore Soft Fern, Sage Tint, and Seafoam Green for tonal continuity, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide strong, contrasting depth in the same space.
