How it reads

Great Barrington Green is one of Benjamin Moore's Historical Colors, and it has the settled, slightly dusty quality the collection is known for — an olive with grey in it and a little yellow warmth, the green of lichen on a stone wall. At LRV 21 it is a mid-dark, strong enough for a full room.

On panelling and built-ins it looks like it has been there for a century. It flatters botanical prints, worn leather and gilt frames, and it deepens handsomely under lamplight. In cool light expect it to lean grey-olive.

Questions

Is Great Barrington Green dark?
Mid-dark — at LRV 21 it holds color in daylight and turns rich and enclosing at night, without ever going black.
Great Barrington Green vs Kennebunkport Green?
They are neighbours in the Historical collection. Kennebunkport is lighter and greyer; Great Barrington is deeper and more olive.
