Sienna Laurel

536

Sienna Laurel is a muted, yellow-green with a soft sage quality, registering at hex #CBD6A9 and an LRV of 62.14. It reflects light efficiently, reading as an airy, low-saturation green that leans slightly warm due to its yellow content. The color holds a quiet presence on walls, neither advancing nor receding strongly.

Under cooler lighting it shifts toward gray-green, while warm light draws out more of the yellow base. It works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove for trim, Simply White for ceilings, Hale Navy for contrast, Pale Avocado for tonal continuity, and Soft Fern for an analogous pairing.
