Chrome Green

HC-189 / PM-10

Chrome Green is a very dark ivy green with a cool forest undertone. An LRV of 7.13 makes it a low-reflectance color that reads near-black in dim light. It is best for cabinetry, trim, or an accent wall rather than full-room coverage.

White Dove and Rich Cream keep surrounding areas lighter. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal deepen the palette, while Guilford Green offers a related mid-tone.

Chrome 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.

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.
