Celery Ice

Behr · 410E-2

The Analysis

Celery Ice is a high-LRV paint, meaning it reflects a significant amount of light back into a room to make it feel expansive and airy. Because it sits at an 81.51 LRV, it functions almost like a crisp off-white but with enough yellow-green pigment to prevent the space from feeling sterile.

This shade works best as a main wall colour for areas where you want to maximize natural brightness. It serves as an excellent backdrop that lets furniture and art stand out without competing for attention.

LRV 82

History & Origin

This is a fresh, modern take on traditional botanical palettes. It avoids the heavy, moody feel of period greens, opting instead for a contemporary aesthetic that emphasizes light and volume.

How to Use It

This colour shines in kitchens or bathrooms where you want a crisp, sanitary feel. Pair it with light oak or walnut wood tones for warmth, and use matte black hardware to add a sharp, grounded contrast to the softness of the green.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels clean and balanced. It provides a steady, calm energy that avoids the coldness of standard whites while remaining neutral enough not to overwhelm your daily routine.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
