Benjamin Moore

Split Pea

2146-30

Split Pea is a saturated yellow-green with an LRV of 38.7, which puts it in the lower-moderate reflectance range and gives it noticeable visual weight on a wall. The green and yellow components are roughly equal, producing a chartreuse-adjacent tone with organic undertones that can shift slightly more yellow under warm artificial light. It requires careful pairing to avoid clashing.

White Dove and Ballet White offer soft neutral contrast, Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal anchor it with deep tonal opposition, and Pale Avocado extends its green family without overwhelming a 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.
