Benjamin Moore

Aganthus Green

472

Aganthus Green by Benjamin Moore is a medium celadon green softened by a chalky gray undertone that prevents it from appearing too vivid. With an LRV of 50.37 it reflects about half the light that hits it, placing it in the mid-range where it reads as a definite color without darkening a room. The gray component makes it neutral enough for larger wall areas, kitchens, or bathroom vanities.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore Simply White and Swiss Coffee, and complements Palladian Blue, Hawthorne Yellow, and Hale Navy in a coordinated scheme.
