Burgess Green

CW-485

Burgess Green is a fresh green with yellow undertones that lean warm. LRV 49.42 places it in the mid range, so it stays readable in both daylight and artificial light. It suits kitchens, offices, or family rooms that can carry a visible green.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee or Shaker Beige for warm neutrals. Georgian Green, Pleasant Valley, or Hale Navy can be used for related depth or contrast.

Burgess 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.
