Benjamin Moore

Pale Avocado

2146-40

Pale Avocado by Benjamin Moore is a light yellow-green with noticeable yellow undertones that give it a herbaceous quality rather than a purely leafy green appearance. Its LRV of 58.88 places it in the mid-light range, reflecting enough light to keep kitchens, living rooms, and entryways bright. The color carries enough saturation to read distinctly on walls without overwhelming furnishings.

Benjamin Moore's Soft Fern and Hint of Olive sit in a similar tonal family for layered green schemes, Cloud White provides a clean trim option, and Hale Navy or Mink introduce grounding contrast.
