What color is Benjamin Moore Levingston Green?

Benjamin Moore Levingston Green CW-490 is a pale, muted green with a noticeable yellow-gray cast that keeps it soft rather than minty. Its light value makes it especially useful for walls in kitchens, breakfast rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a gentle wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. In bright daylight, Levingston Green can read as a lightly weathered green, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring forward its subdued khaki undertone. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven grasses, and aged brass for a grounded, material-rich look. For more contrast, this shade also sits well beside charcoal, deep olive, or muted terracotta accents.
