Benjamin Moore

Spring Bud

520

Spring Bud is a light warm green with a distinct yellow undertone that keeps it from reading as a true green on the wall. At an LRV of 73.53, it reflects a significant amount of light and reads as a pale, muted tone in most lighting conditions. The yellow-green cast becomes more apparent under warm artificial light.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove as a trim color, and sits comfortably alongside Saybrook Sage, Guilford Green, Pale Oak, and Timothy Straw in a muted, nature-derived palette.

Spring Bud in Different Light

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.
