Douglas Fern

563

Douglas Fern is a muted jade green with subtle green undertones that register as calm and natural in most lighting conditions. It has an LRV of 54.5, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance and suitable for rooms that need moderate brightness. The color reads as soft and restrained rather than saturated.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore Soft Fern or Pale Avocado for a tonal green scheme. For contrast, pair it with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal. Edgecomb Gray provides a warm neutral complement.
