Early Spring

MQ4-46

Early Spring is a bright yellow-green, closer to new leaves than muted sage. It brings energy to a breakfast room, play space, or back entry with plenty of natural texture. The yellow base is strong.

Simple white trim, light oak, or ceramic tile keep it fresh. In warm light, it can feel almost chartreuse. Sample carefully in large rooms, because this much green expands quickly across four walls.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
