Benjamin Moore

Kensington Green

710

Kensington Green (HC-130) is a blue-green with a noticeable gray undertone that tempers its saturation and gives it a weathered, muted quality. At an LRV of 45.02, it falls near the midpoint of the light-reflectance scale, making it neither especially light nor dark in practice. The gray content becomes more prominent in low-light conditions.

It coordinates well with Wickham Gray or Quiet Moments in tonal groupings, and Palladian Blue or Beach Glass extend the analogous range. Hale Navy provides a strong dark contrast when needed.
