Pine Barrens

437

Pine Barrens is a light green with gray undertones that keep it muted and reduce yellowing. Its LRV of 65.76 makes it fairly bright, so it can read closer to a tinted off-white on large wall areas in strong daylight. It’s well suited to bedrooms, offices, and living areas where a soft green is wanted without high saturation.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Cloud White for trim and ceilings. For deeper contrast, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal works well, and Fernwood Green can reinforce the green family without jumping in value.

Pine Barrens 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.
