Benjamin Moore

Green Thumb

CSP-870

Green Thumb is a medium-saturation green with slight yellow undertones that give it a fresh, grass-like quality. With an LRV of 36.07, this color offers moderate light reflectance, placing it between pale sage tones and deeper forest greens. It works in living rooms, kitchens, or entryways where a noticeable green presence is desired without overwhelming the space.

The yellow undertones add warmth compared to cooler mint greens. This shade coordinates with Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray for a warm neutral pairing, Swiss Coffee for soft contrast, Hale Navy for depth, Kendall Charcoal for grounding, and Cedar Green for tonal continuity.
