Spring Moss

2027-20

Spring Moss is a bold yellow-green with strong sunny undertones, producing a saturated, almost acidic chartreuse effect on the wall. Its LRV of 41.45 places it in the medium range, absorbing noticeably more light than softer greens and reading as a definite color statement. It holds its intensity in well-lit rooms but may feel heavy in low-light spaces.

Pale Avocado and Fresh Grass work as tonal companions, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide grounding contrast. Warmer neutrals like Muslin or Bone White can soften its overall impact in a scheme.
