Benjamin Moore

Stokes Forest Green

2035-40

Stokes Forest Green is a cool, mid-depth green with restrained, chalky undertones that keep it from reading saturated. Its LRV of 36.39 gives it noticeable depth while remaining usable on full walls. The color maintains a muted appearance in both low and moderate light, making it suitable for studies, bedrooms, and living spaces.

It reads slightly cooler in north-facing rooms without turning gray. Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Gray Owl for balance, or introduce contrast with Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal. For related tones, Fernwood Green and Misted Fern work naturally alongside it.
