Dark Olive
Benjamin Moore Dark Olive (2140-30) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
