Benjamin Moore

Spring Meadow

486

Spring Meadow is a soft, muted aloe green with subtle gray undertones that keep it from appearing overly saturated. At an LRV of 56.85, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a quiet mid-tone green on walls. The gray cast is more noticeable in north-facing or low-light rooms, where it takes on a slightly sage-like quality.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Pale Avocado and Sweet Celadon for a layered green arrangement, and contrasts well against Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray. Simply White provides a clean, neutral trim pairing.

Spring Meadow 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.
