The floor finish is the reference
Judge Roycroft Bronze Green against your actual wood finish, not a generic wood species label. The starting material direction here is red brick and copper-colored metal. Roycroft Bronze Green has enough depth to act as a dark architectural color, irrespective of the historic association in its name.
Red brick and copper-colored metal are specific warm neighbors; a heritage name cannot guarantee compatibility with their exact finishes.
Test the dominant wood color, not one grain line
Check the outline between Roycroft Bronze Green and the darkest part of the floor or wood furniture. Deep paint and dark timber may lose separation in evening light. Decide whether that continuous dark effect is intended, or whether a lighter painted boundary would give the room clearer structure.
Roycroft Bronze Green has an LRV of 9; Benjamin Moore Cypress Green 509 is 35.09. The difference is 26.09 points, with Cypress Green returning more light under the reference measurement.
The condition for keeping Roycroft Bronze Green
Test the actual brick and metal together before treating the historic name as a guaranteed period match. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the Roycroft Bronze Green board vertical at the floor edge. A match to one pale grain line can misrepresent the dominant color across the installed floor. Judge the broad timber background from standing height. If the floor will be refinished, repeat the comparison with the approved new stain sample before ordering the wall paint. The coordinating color options covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
