Benjamin Moore

Barefoot in the Grass

CSP-840

Barefoot in the Grass is a medium green with subtle yellow undertones that keep it warm. Its LRV of 34.14 places it in a mid-range depth, so it reads solid on walls without turning dark. It is suitable for living rooms, offices, or accent walls where a natural green is needed.

Pair it with Soft Fern and Guilford Green for related tones, and add White Dove or Hale Navy for contrast.
