Buckingham Gardens

545

Buckingham Gardens is a medium grass green with a balanced warm-cool undertone. It reads slightly warmer under incandescent light. Its LRV of 31.23 gives it mid depth, so it reads strong without becoming dark.

It can be used in kitchens, dining rooms, or accent walls where a clear green is needed. It pairs with Benjamin Moore Pale Oak and White Dove for lighter balance, and with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast.

Buckingham Gardens 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.
