Benjamin Moore

Sherwood Forest

2048-10

Sherwood Forest is a deeply saturated emerald green with strong cool undertones and a very low LRV of 7.41, meaning it absorbs nearly all available light. On walls it reads very dark, approaching near-black in dim conditions, with the green hue most visible under direct lighting. It requires ample light sources to maintain its color identity in a room.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for maximum contrast on trim, Palladian Blue as a lighter cool companion, Hale Navy for a deep coordinating tone, Soft Fern to bridge toward lighter greens, and Simply White for clean details.
