Benjamin Moore

Tuscany Green

2140-20

Tuscany Green (BM) is a dark, muted olive green with an LRV of 9.57, placing it among the lowest-reflectance colors in the palette. At hex #545447, it is heavily desaturated, reading almost as a dark warm gray with a green cast rather than a clearly green tone. It absorbs most available light, making room lighting an important consideration.

Tuscany Green coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Simply White, Kendall Charcoal, Tate Olive, Rosemary Sprig, and Revere Pewter in grounded, low-contrast schemes.
