Hawthorne Green

379

Hawthorne Green is a muted off-white with soft green and yellow undertones, producing a subtle warmth that reads as nearly neutral. Its LRV of 76.45 makes it highly reflective, suitable for rooms that benefit from amplified natural light. This shade functions well in living rooms, bedrooms, or sunlit dining spaces where a quiet backdrop is needed.

Compatible colors from Benjamin Moore include White Dove, Simply White, Newburg Green for deeper contrast, and Pale Vista for an analogous pairing.
