About Fraser Fir
Fraser Fir (503) is a deep, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 33, Fraser Fir absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Fraser Fir's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. It's very close to Hillside Green (495); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
