Pastel Green

548

Pastel Green is a bright spearmint green with cool undertones and a clean finish. With an LRV of 71.1, it reflects light efficiently and maintains a fresh appearance. The color remains crisp under most lighting conditions.

It works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces where brightness is important. Pairings with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Silver Satin keep the palette light, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal introduce definition.

Pastel Green 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.
