Benjamin Moore

Pleasant Grove

552

Pleasant Grove is a saturated grass green from Benjamin Moore with an underlying earthy warmth that prevents it from reading overly bright. Its LRV of 31.4 places it in the lower-medium range, meaning it absorbs a fair amount of light and adds noticeable depth to walls. This shade suits living rooms, kitchens, and creative workspaces where a strong connection to natural tones is desired.

White Dove and Simply White provide clean contrast on trim and ceilings, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal create a grounded darker pairing. Wythe Blue and Saybrook Sage extend the palette in a harmonious green-blue direction.
