Ashwood Moss

1484

Ashwood Moss is a dark graphite green with gray undertones and an LRV of 10.46, which means it absorbs most available light and reads as a near-dark neutral on walls. The green pigment is subdued enough that the color can appear close to a dark charcoal in low-light conditions, but under brighter lighting the green base becomes apparent. Its cool temperature keeps it from reading as warm or earthy.

White Dove and Pale Oak are strong trim companions that provide the necessary lightness differential, while a color like Kendall Charcoal can function as a tonal bridge in multi-color schemes.

Ashwood Moss 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.
