Benjamin Moore

Fresh Grass

426

Fresh Grass is a soft, medium-saturation green with yellow-green undertones that give it a natural, organic quality. With an LRV of 46.44, this shade has moderate reflectance suitable for living rooms, kitchens, or nurseries where a connection to nature is desired. The yellow undertone prevents the green from appearing too cool or artificial.

Fresh Grass coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Cloud White for clean contrast, Hale Navy or Iron Mountain for deeper grounding, and Pale Vista or Soft Fern for analogous green combinations.
