Benjamin Moore

Prairie Green

2038-30

Prairie Green by Benjamin Moore is a medium-saturation green with a cool undertone that reads fresh and distinctly chromatic. At an LRV of 24.63, it falls on the lower end of the mid-range, absorbing a fair amount of light while still maintaining clarity of hue. It functions well in sunrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms where a direct connection to green tones is appropriate.

Soft Fern and Tranquility extend the palette in analogous directions, while Hale Navy and Black Forest Green offer deeper contrasts. White Dove and Simply White provide clean, neutral framing on trim and adjacent surfaces.
