Benjamin Moore

Timson Green

CW-470

Timson Green from the Benjamin Moore Williamsburg collection is a deep, muted olive-green drawn from early 19th-century paint evidence found at the Timson House. With an LRV of 16.52, it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a dark, subdued green with both warm yellow and cool blue-green undertones in its mix. The olive cast keeps it grounded and earthy rather than jewel-toned.

It works well alongside Simply White, Edgecomb Gray, Caliente, Hale Navy, and other tones from the Williamsburg palette.
