Benjamin Moore

Tapenade

CC-694 / 510

Tapenade (Benjamin Moore) is an olive green with noticeable brown undertones, producing an earthy, muted appearance. Its LRV of 23.02 means it absorbs a significant amount of light, reading as a mid-to-dark tone on walls. The brown content softens the green and prevents it from appearing sharp or saturated.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee offer lighter neutral contrast for trim and ceilings. Hale Navy provides a deep complementary pairing, while Hawthorne Yellow and Chestertown Buff work as warm analogous companions that reinforce the yellow base within the olive.

Tapenade in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
