Kennebunkport Green

Benjamin Moore · HC-123

The Analysis

Kennebunkport Green is a mid-tone olive that absorbs a fair amount of light due to its 31.75 LRV. It creates a cozy, contained atmosphere rather than an airy or expansive one, making large rooms feel more intimate.

It works best as a moody backdrop for living spaces or a saturated feature wall in a study. It provides enough depth to act as a neutral without the starkness of a true gray or beige.

LRV 32

History & Origin

This is a quintessential heritage colour often used in colonial-style interiors. It leans into traditional, timeless aesthetics rather than sleek, modern minimalism.

How to Use It

Pair this colour with warm wood tones like walnut or oak to lean into the nature-inspired palette. Use antique brass hardware for a classic look or matte black fixtures to add a bit of modern definition.

The Mood

This shade provides a restful and grounded environment. Because it is a muted, earth-toned green, it feels stable and calm rather than high-energy or visually demanding.

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.
