Benjamin Moore

Celtic Folklore

411

Celtic Folklore is a lime green with warm undertones and high chroma. Its LRV of 66.62 keeps it light but saturated, so it reads vivid on full walls. It can be used in kitchens, playrooms, or accent areas where a bold green is appropriate.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray or White Dove to moderate the brightness. Hale Navy or Essex Green deepen the palette, and Chestertown Buff introduces warm balance.

Celtic Folklore 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.
