Four Leaf Clover

Benjamin Moore · 573

The Analysis

Four Leaf Clover is a mid-tone green that provides a balanced, saturated presence without overwhelming the space. With an LRV of 35.96, it absorbs more light than it reflects, which pulls walls inward to create a cozy, defined atmosphere rather than an expansive, airy one.

This color is best used as a bold accent or for built-in cabinetry to add depth. If you use it on all four walls, expect the room to feel intimate and wrapped in color.

History & Origin

This is a contemporary, fresh take on green that aligns with modern biophilic design. It avoids the dusty, muted tones of heritage palettes, opting instead for a crisp, organic clarity.

How to Use It

It works exceptionally well in mudrooms or kitchens when paired with unlacquered brass hardware and light oak wood tones. Use it on lower cabinets or a statement wall to ground the room without making it feel like a cave.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels grounded and stable. It provides a clean, nature-inspired energy that is more stimulating than a neutral gray but remains restful enough for daily life.

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.
