About Raintree Green

Raintree Green (CC-560) is a deep green from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 32, Raintree 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 Raintree 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 Louisburg Green (HC-113); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
