Benjamin Moore

Grasshopper

AF-415

Grasshopper is a muted yellow-green with warm undertones that keep it from reading as too cool or acidic. With an LRV of 52.14, this color reflects a balanced amount of light, working in living rooms, kitchens, or home offices where moderate brightness is appropriate. The yellow influence softens the green, producing an earthy, organic quality on walls.

Grasshopper coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Edgecomb Gray for neutral pairings, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal offer deeper contrast. Fernwood Green and Pale Avocado work well in analogous green schemes.
