Kelly Green

2037-30

Kelly Green (2037-30) is a saturated medium green with a distinctly cool, crisp cast. At an LRV of 26.63, it reflects a moderate amount of light and holds its intensity well under both natural and artificial lighting. The blue undertone in its mix gives it a clean read rather than a yellow-leaning one.

It pairs effectively with Basil Green or Waterbury Green for an analogous palette, while Black Forest Green or White Dove offer sharper contrast. Revere Pewter can be used on adjacent surfaces to soften the overall effect.
