More about Retreat
Retreat is a deep, muted green-gray at LRV 21 — a grayed forest green with real depth that's become popular for moody cabinetry, libraries, and accent walls. It's in the deep-green family with Pewter Green but reads a touch cooler and grayer.
At this depth it needs light to read clearly as green rather than near-charcoal, and it pairs beautifully with brass, warm wood, and creamy whites. Behr Cedar Forest is its closest cross-brand match.
