Benjamin Moore

Croquet

AF-455

Croquet by Benjamin Moore is a muted green with yellow-gray undertones that give it a dry, herbal quality similar to dried sage. With an LRV of 45.02, it sits in the mid-range for light reflectance and reads as a soft, grayed green in most lighting conditions. It works well on walls in living rooms, kitchens, or bedrooms where a quiet green is needed without strong saturation.

Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter complement it as warm neutrals on trim or adjacent walls, while White Dove provides a clean ceiling option. For contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy can anchor built-ins or lower cabinetry.

Croquet 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.
