Artichoke Hearts

382

Artichoke Hearts is a muted yellow-green from Benjamin Moore with warm green undertones and an LRV of 54.12, placing it in the mid-light range for balanced reflectance on interior walls. The color leans toward olive without crossing into full green territory, which allows it to read as a subdued earth tone under most lighting conditions. It coordinates well with White Dove and Navajo White on trim and ceilings, while Hale Navy provides a strong contrast on accent surfaces.

Adjacent greens like Guilford Green and Fernwood Green create a tonal progression in open floor plans.
