Benjamin Moore

Par Four

470

Par Four is a pale green from Benjamin Moore with gray undertones, giving it a muted, atmospheric quality. Its LRV of 64.33 places it in the upper-mid range for reflectance, meaning it brightens a room while still registering as a distinct color. The gray content tempers the green, making it suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a quiet, grounded backdrop is useful.

Cloud White and Silver Satin pair naturally for contrast and trim, while Pale Avocado and Soft Fern extend the green family. Kendall Charcoal adds definition as an accent.

Par Four 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.
