Vegetated Green

Vegetated Green Technical Profile

What color is Dutch Boy Vegetated Green (225-7DB)? It's a dark cool green — hex #496331, LRV 11. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Vegetated Green is Behr Down-to-earth — a near-identical match on the wall, with Behr Fiddle Leaf and RAL Fern Green also close. With an LRV of 11, Vegetated Green creates a dramatic, enveloping mood — best on accent walls, dining rooms, and intimate spaces where atmosphere matters more than reflected light. Pair it with off-whites like Simply White, walnut or rift-cut oak floors, and mixed metals — brass for warmth, matte black for grounding. Terracotta and rust accents add warm contrast. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Greens shift the most under different light. 2700K warms them toward olive or yellow-green; 4000K daylight reveals their true tone. Bluer greens especially benefit from north-facing daylight. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.
