Parsley Snips

635 / HC-131

Parsley Snips is a muted green with earthy undertones that keep it subdued and controlled. With an LRV of 27.09, it reads as a medium-dark color that adds depth without becoming overly dense. It maintains consistency across varied lighting conditions and does not skew cool.

This makes it suitable for offices, kitchens, or living spaces where a restrained natural tone is desired. It works well with Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois and White Dove for balance, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide structured contrast.
