528

Folk Art is a muted yellow-green with balanced warm and cool properties. Its LRV of 60.57 places it in the medium-light range, providing moderate reflectivity without appearing overly bright. The green undertone keeps the yellow from reading too saturated, resulting in a grounded, earthy character.

This color can work in kitchens, sunrooms, or casual living spaces where a natural tone is appropriate. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Pale Vista, Hale Navy, and Kendall Charcoal for tonal harmony or deliberate contrast.

Folk Art in Different Light
