Benjamin Moore

Avon Green

HC-126 / 468

Avon Green is an earthy green with muted gray undertones that reduce chroma and soften the hue. An LRV of 20.99 places it in the dark range, so it absorbs light and gains depth on broad walls. It is suitable for dining rooms, libraries, or built-ins where a deeper field color is needed.

Combine it with White Dove, Chantilly Lace, and Saybrook Sage for a related palette, and add Hampshire Gray or Newburg Green for stronger contrast.

Avon Green 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.
