Benjamin Moore Cypress Green 509 is a muted, yellow-leaning olive with a softened gray cast. Its medium-light value keeps it gentle on large walls, where it can read more like weathered sage-khaki than a pronounced green. In bright daylight, the warm olive undertone becomes clearer, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued gray-beige side. Cypress Green suits studies, kitchens, mudrooms, and exterior trim when paired with warm white, putty, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents. It is especially effective on cabinetry or built-in shelving for a low-contrast color statement that still has noticeable earthy character.
