Benjamin Moore

Woodland Green

459

Woodland Green (857) by Benjamin Moore is a mid-range green carrying cool blue undertones, shown at hex #B3C2B5. Its LRV of 50.97 positions it near the center of the light-dark scale, reflecting roughly half the available light. The blue influence softens the green, creating a muted sage-like appearance rather than a saturated or yellow-green.

Within the Benjamin Moore range, it coordinates with Pale Oak, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Black Forest Green, and Breath of Fresh Air for varied tonal and contrasting combinations.
