Cucumber Salad

562

Cucumber Salad by Benjamin Moore is a mid-range green with an LRV of 65.79, placing it in the moderately bright category. It carries cool undertones that give it a clean, slightly crisp read on the wall. The color holds enough saturation to register clearly as green without overwhelming a space.

It coordinates well with Soft Fern and Healing Aloe for a tonal green scheme, while Hale Navy provides a strong contrast option. Lemon Grass or Georgian Green can round out an analogous palette.
