Benjamin Moore

Shady Lane

497

Shady Lane reads as a deep olive green with warm, earthy undertones that shift toward yellow-brown in lower light. With an LRV of 18.01, it absorbs a significant amount of light and will darken smaller rooms considerably, so it performs best in well-lit or larger spaces. The warm base keeps it from appearing cold despite its depth.

It sits naturally beside other earth-toned greens like Soft Fern and Dry Sage, while Pale Avocado lightens the palette without clashing. Pairing with Newburg Green deepens the scheme, and White Dove provides necessary contrast on trim and ceilings.
