About Savannah Green
Savannah Green (2150-30) is a deep, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 36, Savannah 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 Savannah 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 kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms and entryways. Next to Gibson Gold (378), it's darker.
