Benjamin Moore

Granny Smith

CSP-860

Granny Smith is a bright yellow-green with strong yellow undertones that give it an energetic, citrus-like quality. With an LRV of 57.09, this color reflects a moderate amount of light and can bring liveliness to kitchens, dining areas, or playrooms. Its warm yellow influence makes it feel vibrant rather than purely vegetal.

This shade works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove to soften its intensity, Hale Navy for contrast, and Classic Gray as a neutral anchor. Clover Green provides analogous harmony, while Charcoal Slate offers a grounding counterpoint.
