Benjamin Moore

Scotch Plains Green

587

Scotch Plains Green is a bright, saturated emerald with cool blue undertones that keep it from reading as warm or yellowish. At an LRV of 29.54 it holds a moderate-dark position on the value scale, absorbing more light than it reflects while still maintaining strong chromatic clarity. The blue undertone becomes more prominent under cooler daylight.

White Dove and Classic Gray serve as clean, neutral backdrops that let its saturation stand forward. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal ground it with darker contrast, while Seafoam Green offers a lighter, desaturated step within the same color family.
