More about Rosemary
Rosemary is a deep, earthy green at LRV 14 — a grayed, herbal green with real depth that brings a grounded, natural drama to a room. It's the choice for a moody green on cabinetry, a library, or an accent wall, in the family of the deep-sage trend but darker and more saturated.
At this depth it needs light to read as green rather than near-black, and it pairs beautifully with warm whites, brass, and natural wood. Benjamin Moore Rainy Afternoon and Behr Gray Owl are its closest cross-brand matches.
