Benjamin Moore

Verdigris

685

Verdigris (Benjamin Moore) is a muted hunter green with a softly grayed undertone that tempers its saturation. At an LRV of 17.28, it falls into the darker range and absorbs a considerable amount of light, producing a subdued but clearly green appearance on walls. The gray content keeps it from reading as vivid, giving it a more restrained quality than brighter greens.

Chantilly Lace, Edgecomb Gray, Soft Fern, Manchester Tan, and Kendall Charcoal from Benjamin Moore all pair well, ranging from high-contrast whites to closely related earthy neutrals.

Verdigris 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.
