Benjamin Moore

Shades of Spring

537

Shades of Spring is a mid-tone green with a yellow bias and an LRV of 51.23, giving it moderate reflectance that keeps it from feeling heavy on walls. The yellow undertone is persistent and becomes more prominent under warm artificial light, while daylight brings out the green more evenly. It reads as a muted chartreuse rather than a true leaf green.

Benjamin Moore Pale Sea Mist and Windmill Wings coordinate in a cool-to-warm green range. Hale Navy and Chelsea Gray supply darker contrast, and White Dove provides a neutral trim that does not compete.
