About Green Earth
Green Earth (CW-455) is a light, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 77, Green Earth reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Green Earth'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, bathrooms, nurseries and living rooms. It's very close to Rainforest Dew (2146-50); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

North-facing rooms

East-facing rooms
Green Earth will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Green Earth can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Green Earth will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
