Benjamin Moore

Norway Spruce

452

Norway Spruce by Benjamin Moore is a muted celadon green distinguished by a gray overlay that pulls it toward a cooler, subdued range. With an LRV of 39.16, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a mid-tone green suitable for bedrooms, reading areas, or spaces with natural wood and stone materials. The gray undertone gives it a quieter character than a pure green, lending itself to minimalist and modern interiors.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Palladian Blue, providing options for both tonal and contrasting schemes.

Norway Spruce 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.
