Hibiscus

2027-50

Hibiscus is a yellow-green with an LRV of 75.11, making it a high-reflectance color with significant brightness. The green undertone distinguishes it from pure yellows and gives it a fresh, spring-like quality. Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Simply White work as trim colors that maintain the bright character.

Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide contrast for accents and furnishings. Fernwood Green and Palladian Blue offer softer transitions within a nature-influenced palette. This color suits kitchens, sunrooms, and spaces with good natural light.
