Benjamin Moore

Soft Green

2045-70

Soft Green reads as a very light mint wash with high transparency and minimal pigment weight. At an LRV of 81.61, it reflects substantial light, making walls appear nearly white with a cool green tint. The mint undertone becomes most visible on large surfaces and in daylight, while it can nearly disappear under warm artificial light.

It pairs cleanly with Benjamin Moore Ice Mist and Ocean Air for a tonal cool scheme. Hale Navy or Newburyport Blue can anchor it with depth, while Simply White works as a crisp, neutral trim companion.

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
