CSP-875

Handmade Paper is a muted green with beige undertones, creating a soft neutral appearance. Its LRV of 77.44 makes it a high-light-reflectance option that can brighten rooms while remaining understated. This color suits living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.

Benjamin Moore Pale Oak and Balboa Mist pair well as coordinating neutrals with similar warmth. For contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide darker accents. Guilford Green offers an analogous green option that can extend the subtle green quality throughout a space.
