Benjamin Moore

Budding Green

CSP-790

Budding Green is a light green with a balanced yellow and blue undertone. Its LRV of 59.65 puts it in the mid-light range, so it reads fresh without becoming pastel. It works in living rooms, kitchens, or bedrooms where a soft green is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray for neutral balance, and with Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate for contrast; Fernwood Green or Tarrytown Green can extend the green family.

Budding 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.
