Benjamin Moore

Salisbury Green

HC-139

Salisbury Green is a mid-toned green carrying strong gray undertones that pull the hue toward a muted, natural register. At an LRV of 46.39, it reflects a moderate amount of light, reading as neither heavy nor washed out on the wall. The gray content keeps the green from skewing too bright, giving it a restrained, earthy quality suited to woodwork-rich rooms.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Cloud Cover, and Kendall Charcoal for tonal contrast, while Wythe Blue and Saybrook Sage maintain an analogous, low-chroma palette.

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.
