Benjamin Moore

Wales Green

2028-50

Wales Green from Benjamin Moore is a yellow-green with visible yellow undertones that shift it away from pure green toward a warmer, more luminous range. At an LRV of 70.42, it reflects a high degree of light, making it functional in spaces that benefit from added brightness such as kitchens and living areas. The yellow component keeps the green from appearing cool or clinical.

Effective pairings within the Benjamin Moore catalog include Simply White, Dove Wing, Newburg Green, Soft Fern, and Tarrytown Green for layered or contrasting arrangements.
