Chameleon

526

Chameleon is a yellow-green that sits between warm and cool, with a clear green bias. Its LRV of 71.36 gives it a bright read and strong light reflectance. It works in kitchens, sunrooms, or casual living areas where a light green is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Pale Moon or Soft Fern for a soft tonal range. Green Tint or Spring Mint keep the palette light, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal add contrast.

Chameleon 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.
