Benjamin Moore

Stem Green

2029-40

Stem Green has a chalky, muted quality that distinguishes it from brighter spring greens, with an LRV of 50.83 placing it near the midpoint of the reflectance scale. Its hex value ACC774 reveals a notable yellow component that warms the overall read, preventing it from appearing too cool or artificial. On large surfaces, the chalkiness becomes more pronounced under diffused light.

Benjamin Moore Soft Fern and Newburg Green sit comfortably alongside it as analogous pairings. Clay Beige introduces a grounding neutral warmth, while Vale Mist lightens the palette. Simply White works as a clean trim companion.

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.
