Benjamin Moore

Corn Stalk

542

Corn Stalk is a medium green with gray undertones that reads as natural and grounded without feeling overly saturated. It has an LRV of 54.59, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance and allowing it to work in rooms with moderate natural light. The muted quality keeps it from appearing too bold, making it functional in kitchens and living rooms.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove or Simply White for a clean backdrop, while Kendall Charcoal provides strong contrast. Fernwood Green and Soft Fern sit in a similar tonal range for a cohesive scheme.
