Wispy Green

414

Wispy Green (BM) is a high-LRV pastel green with lemon and lime undertones, measured at an LRV of 83.27 and represented by hex #EBF3CB. The high reflectance value indicates strong light return, making it functional for brightening interior surfaces. Its yellow-green bias keeps it in the warm-cool transitional range.

Suitable Benjamin Moore pairings include White Dove, Cloud White, Hale Navy, Quiet Moments, and Hawthorne Yellow. The muted saturation level allows it to function as a near-neutral with identifiable green character.

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.
