More about Garden Gate
Garden Gate is a deep, earthy forest green at LRV 10 — a rich, slightly olive green with real depth that anchors a room with drama. It's the choice for moody cabinetry, a library, or an exterior, in the deep-green family with Pewter Green but warmer and more olive.
At this depth it reads clearly as green only with light, deepening toward near-black in shadow. It pairs beautifully with brass, warm wood, and creamy whites. Benjamin Moore Aegean Olive is its closest cross-brand match.
