Candy Green

403

Candy Green is a bright yellow-green with clear warm undertones. Its LRV of 61.63 places it in the light mid-tone range. It works in kitchens, playrooms, or accent areas where high chroma is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Gentle Cream for light balance. Rainforest Dew, Spring Meadow, or Hale Navy provide related depth or contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

Candy 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.
