Benjamin Moore

Southern Vine

2138-10

Southern Vine reads as a dark olive with a brown shift, and its LRV of 7.87 places it among the lowest-reflectance colors in the palette. It absorbs nearly all ambient light, making it most effective on accent surfaces rather than full rooms unless ample lighting is provided. The brown undertone prevents it from reading as a true green, especially in warm artificial light.

Revere Pewter and Classic Gray offer mid-value neutral contrast, while Simply White and Chantilly Lace maximize the tonal range. Rustic Taupe picks up the earthy brown undertone for a cohesive low-chroma scheme.
