Benjamin Moore

Light Green

408

Light Green is a pale yellow-green with an LRV of 78.99, placing it firmly in the light-reflective range while retaining clear color presence. Its undertone skews more yellow than blue, giving it a warm, grassy quality rather than a minty one. It pairs well with Simply White or Soft Chamois as trim and ceiling colors that respect its warmth.

Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply effective dark contrast for doors, shutters, or accent surfaces. Golden Honey or Pale Avocado extend its natural palette in an analogous direction.

Light Green in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
