Benjamin Moore

Sounds of Nature

556

Sounds of Nature is a saturated yellow-green with an LRV of 65.05, making it a high-reflectance color that reads as distinctly bright on walls. The yellow component is secondary but noticeable, pushing the green away from blue-green territory toward a warmer, leaf-like tone. In north-facing rooms, the yellow undertone becomes more subdued.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray work as grounding neutrals alongside it, while Hale Navy delivers a strong value contrast. Hawthorne Yellow picks up its warm cast, and Breath of Fresh Air introduces an analogous blue-green shift.
