Benjamin Moore

Savannah Shade

525

Savannah Shade is a warm, earthy green with pronounced yellow-ochre undertones that push it toward olive territory. At an LRV of 24.37, it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads as a solid mid-dark tone on walls. The yellow base becomes more apparent under warm artificial lighting, while daylight draws out the green.

It coordinates well with Edgecomb Gray for a grounded neutral pairing, Revere Pewter to echo its warmth, and Hale Navy for strong tonal contrast. Hawthorne Yellow picks up its golden side, while Kendall Charcoal anchors it in deeper schemes.
