Benjamin Moore

Appalachian Green

852

Appalachian Green is a very light off-white with a faint aloe-green undertone that becomes visible mainly when placed beside a pure white. At an LRV of 79.88 it reflects most available light and reads close to white in bright rooms, though the green cast holds in shaded or north-facing conditions. It suits full-room application including ceilings where a slight tint is wanted.

Gray Owl works as a slightly deeper accent tone, and Sea Foam extends the green family at a closer value. For contrast on doors or built-ins, Hale Navy or Essex Green supply a darker anchor.
