Benjamin Moore

Smoked Truffle

CSP-145

Smoked Truffle is a muted warm green with gray undertones and an LRV of 25.9, placing it in the lower-mid reflectance range. The green reads as subdued and earthy, and the gray keeps it from appearing overly saturated. Under warm artificial light the color can shift toward khaki, while cooler daylight brings out the green more clearly.

It works well with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for sharp white contrast, White Dove for softer trim, Kendall Charcoal for deeper grounding, Saybrook Sage as a lighter analogous green, and Revere Pewter for neutral transitions.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
