Benjamin Moore

Apples and Pears

395

Apples and Pears is a pale yellow-green that leans slightly more yellow than green under warm lighting. Its LRV of 72.97 places it in a high-reflectance range, so it can lighten a room noticeably without washing out wall depth. White Dove and Simply White are both suitable trim companions that keep transitions subtle.

For stronger color contrast, Hale Navy or Newburg Green can anchor furniture or lower cabinetry. Pale Moon sits close on the spectrum and allows tonal layering across adjoining surfaces.

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.
