Benjamin Moore

Turkish Bay Leaf

CSP-885

Turkish Bay Leaf is a muted, warm green-gold from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 49.41, placing it near the center of the light-dark scale. The hue leans toward olive and ochre rather than a bright or cool green, giving it a distinctly earthy, warm character. Under most lighting it reads as a subdued yellow-green with enough saturation to function as a color rather than a neutral.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore's White Heron, Soft Fern, Hale Navy, Pale Moss, and Thicket, supporting both warm analogous and cool contrasting combinations.
