Benjamin Moore

Pale Celery

2150-60 / OC-116

Pale Celery by Benjamin Moore is an ultra-soft buttery yellow with a muted, almost chalky quality that keeps it from reading as saturated. Its LRV of 80.65 is notably high, meaning it reflects most available light and functions close to a tinted white on walls. This makes it practical for kitchens, nurseries, bathrooms, and living rooms where maximum brightness with a hint of warmth is desired.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Fresh Mint and Spring Mint for a soft analogous grouping, Simply White and White Dove work as trim colors, and Mediterranean Teal introduces complementary contrast.
