Benjamin Moore

Spring Bud

520

Spring Bud is a light warm green with a distinct yellow undertone that keeps it from reading as a true green on the wall. At an LRV of 73.53, it reflects a significant amount of light and reads as a pale, muted tone in most lighting conditions. The yellow-green cast becomes more apparent under warm artificial light.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove as a trim color, and sits comfortably alongside Saybrook Sage, Guilford Green, Pale Oak, and Timothy Straw in a muted, nature-derived palette.
