Chamomile

397

Chamomile is a vivid citrus green with warm undertones and a clear chroma. Its LRV of 59.59 puts it in the mid-light range, so it reads bright without washing out. It works in kitchens, playrooms, or accent areas where a saturated yellow-green is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Pale Avocado or Windham Cream for adjacent tones. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide strong contrast.

Chamomile 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.
