Highlands Green

650

Highlands Green is a medium-dark green with cool undertones that give it a fresh, grounded quality. With an LRV of 18.66, this color absorbs considerable light and creates depth in living rooms, home offices, and bedrooms. The cool cast makes it feel steady rather than warm.

This shade pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Simply White for clean contrast, while Patriot Blue and Nimbus Gray offer analogous and neutral coordination. Warmer options like Rustic Brick or Golden Retriever can balance its cooler green base when contrast is needed.
