Benjamin Moore

Cucumber

428

Cucumber is a light green from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 75.19, meaning it reflects a substantial amount of light. The color sits in the cool green range with soft, muted undertones that keep it from reading too saturated. It works well on walls in rooms that benefit from a quiet, low-contrast backdrop.

For coordinating colors, White Dove and Classic Gray pair naturally as trim or ceiling options, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can serve as deeper accents. Spring Meadow offers a tonal companion within the same green family.
