Hollingsworth Green

Benjamin Moore · HC-141

The Analysis

Hollingsworth Green is a mid-tone sage with a strong grey-green base that keeps the space feeling balanced rather than overwhelming. With an LRV of 63.91, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it a reliable choice that brightens a room without washing out like a pale neutral.

This is a highly versatile 'bridge' color that works perfectly as a primary wall choice for living rooms or bedrooms. It is subtle enough to act as a neutral backdrop for art or furniture while adding more character than a standard white or beige.

LRV 64

History & Origin

It leans into a heritage aesthetic, reminiscent of early 20th-century color palettes that emphasized natural, muted earth tones. It feels classic and grounded rather than trendy or hyper-modern.

How to Use It

This color shines in kitchens or home offices when paired with warm walnut wood tones or matte black hardware. Use it in rooms with plenty of natural light to bring out the green undertones, or balance it with crisp, clean white trim to keep the edges sharp.

The Mood

Living with this shade is inherently restful because it mimics the muted tones found in nature. It provides a clean, steady background that reduces visual noise, making it an excellent choice for areas where you want to relax rather than be energized.

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.
