Lafayette Green

HC-135 / 693

Lafayette Green is a deep, muted green with an LRV of 10.54, which means it absorbs most of the available light and reads as a dark, enveloping tone on walls. Its undertones carry a balanced blue-green mix with enough gray to prevent it from appearing overly saturated. White Dove or Revere Pewter supply the lightness contrast needed to keep the space from feeling closed in.

Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal hold up as darker accent options, and Saybrook Sage provides an analogous lighter green that eases transitions between rooms.
