Benjamin Moore

Sycamore Tree

539

Sycamore Tree (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-depth green with pronounced yellow undertones and an LRV of 28.41. The yellow influence pushes the hue toward an olive-chartreuse range, giving it a distinctly warm, vegetal quality rather than a cool or blue-green read. At this lower reflectance value, it absorbs a substantial amount of light and reads as a definite mid-tone on walls.

Coordinating Benjamin Moore colors include White Sand, Muslin, Hale Navy, Pale Avocado, and Fernwood Green.

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.
