Benjamin Moore

Seedling

AF-450

Seedling is a muted, mid-saturation green with cool gray undertones that prevent it from reading as overtly leafy or bright. Its LRV of 42.27 places it in the middle of the reflectance scale, meaning it neither absorbs nor bounces excessive light, functioning reliably across varying room orientations. North-facing rooms may push the gray undertone forward.

Benjamin Moore Guilford Green offers a close tonal neighbor, while Soft Fern provides a slightly warmer green option. Pairing with Revere Pewter or Edgecomb Gray supports a neutral backdrop, and Hale Navy delivers a firm, darker accent.
