Benjamin Moore

Cushing Green

HC-125

Cushing Green is a dark, muted green from Benjamin Moore with cool undertones and a noticeable gray influence. Its LRV of 17.98 places it in the lower-mid range, giving it an enveloping quality without full darkness. The gray cast reduces saturation, making it read as a neutral-leaning green that works across both traditional and contemporary schemes.

It pairs naturally with White Dove for a clean offset and Ballet White for a softer, warmer contrast. These combinations allow Cushing Green to anchor a room while keeping the overall palette balanced and composed.
