Benjamin Moore

Topsoil

CC-692

Topsoil (BM) is a dark, muted green-brown that reads close to a deep forest green with strong earthy undertones. At an LRV of 7.56, it absorbs the vast majority of light and will read nearly black in low-light conditions while revealing its green character in well-lit spaces. The neutral brown base keeps the green restrained and avoids any bright or jewel-toned read.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Cloud White, Hale Navy, Stone Hearth, and Cedar Key, supporting both high-contrast and low-contrast earth-toned palettes.
