Harbor Town

493 / TH-170

Harbor Town is a grayish green with muted saturation and subtle warm undertones in the green base. At an LRV of 56.47, it falls in the mid-range for light reflection, appearing neither particularly bright nor dark. The gray component is prominent, keeping the green subdued and workable as a near-neutral.

This shade functions well in living rooms, bedrooms, or studies where understated color is preferred over stark neutrals. Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray pair effectively, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide contrast. Grant Beige coordinates for a natural, earthy scheme.
