Fresh Cut Grass

2026-50

Fresh Cut Grass is a light yellow-green with noticeable chartreuse undertones that give it energy without excessive brightness. With an LRV of 76.09, this shade reflects significant light and can work in kitchens, bathrooms, or sunrooms where a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere is appropriate. The green component moderates the yellow, preventing it from reading too warm.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for complementary contrast, White Dove or Simply White to soften the effect, and Pale Avocado or Cedar Green for analogous green pairings.
