Benjamin Moore

Prescott Green

HC-140

Prescott Green by Benjamin Moore is a soft, powdery green with a trace of blue in its undertone, giving it a cool, muted quality rather than a vivid green appearance. It has an LRV of 55.76, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance, which allows it to work in bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms without making spaces feel dim. The blue undertone becomes more apparent under cooler lighting.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Simply White as trim colors, while Palladian Blue and Wythe Blue reinforce its cool character. Chelsea Gray provides deeper contrast.
