Benjamin Moore

Van Alen Green

HC-120

Van Alen Green from Benjamin Moore is a light pastel green with clean, slightly cool undertones that prevent it from reading as minty or olive. Its LRV of 64.32 places it in the upper-mid reflectance range, allowing it to lighten a room while still showing definite green color. The clean base gives it a washed, soft appearance on walls without visible gray or yellow interference.

Within the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates with Hawthorne Yellow, Palladian Blue, Hale Navy, Manchester Tan, and Wind's Breath.
