About Rosemary Green
Rosemary Green (2029-30) is a deep, bold green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 32, Rosemary 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 Rosemary 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. Next to Napa Vineyards (427), it's darker and warmer.
