About Mountain Lane
Mountain Lane (488) is a deep, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 32, Mountain Lane 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 Mountain Lane'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. Next to Barefoot in the Grass (CSP-840), it's darker.
