About Galapagos Green
Galapagos Green (475) is a deep, muted green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 21, Galapagos Green 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 Galapagos Green'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 Mossy Oak (CC-600); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
