Benjamin Moore

Thyme

2148-20

Thyme is a dark ochre from Benjamin Moore that blends rich yellow and green tones into a warm, earthy composite. With an LRV of 25.45, it sits in the lower reflectance range and reads as a deep, saturated color on walls. The yellow-green mix creates a tone closer to aged gold than to pure brown, and the green undertone keeps it from appearing overtly warm.

It pairs with Swiss Coffee, White Dove, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Olive Grove, and it benefits from strong natural or supplemental lighting to show its full tonal range.
