Green Hydrangea

CSP-850

Green Hydrangea is a muted green-gold with noticeable yellow undertones that place it between sage and khaki. With an LRV of 55.79, this color sits in the mid-range for light reflectance, providing moderate brightness without being overly pale. It functions well in living rooms, bedrooms, or kitchens where a soft, nature-derived neutral is appropriate.

The yellow undertones give it warmth compared to cooler greens. This shade works alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove for clean contrast, Soft Chamois for tonal harmony, Hale Navy for depth, Kendall Charcoal for grounding, and Pale Celery for an analogous combination.
