Benjamin Moore

Apple Blossom

479

Apple Blossom is a light frothy green with sunny yellow undertones that push it toward a warm-leaning green rather than a cool sage. With an LRV of 59.56, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light and reads as a soft wash of color on walls rather than a saturated statement. Swiss Coffee and White Dove both work as trim colors, with Swiss Coffee providing a warmer edge and White Dove a cleaner break.

For contrast, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal on accent surfaces grounds the palette without competing with its warmth.

Apple Blossom in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
