Clearspring Green

Benjamin Moore · HC-128

The Analysis

Clearspring Green is a mid-tone sage with an LRV of 28.45, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects. Because of this, it adds depth and a sense of enclosure to a room rather than making it feel airy or expansive.

It functions best as a sophisticated main wall color or a cabinetry finish. Its muted quality allows it to act as a neutral backdrop that supports other textures without disappearing entirely.

LRV 28

History & Origin

This color fits well within a traditional heritage palette, reminiscent of the botanical tones favored in late Victorian and Edwardian interiors. It feels timeless rather than trendy, making it a safe choice for older architecture.

How to Use It

This shade excels in kitchens or studies paired with warm wood tones like walnut or oak. For hardware, matte black provides a clean, modern contrast, while unlacquered brass adds a classic, warm touch.

The Mood

This shade provides a restful and stable environment, perfect for areas where you want to wind down. It feels grounded and organic, avoiding the 'neon' effect sometimes found in brighter greens.

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.
