Kittery Point Green

Benjamin Moore · HC-119

The Analysis

Kittery Point Green is a muted, earthy olive that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating an intimate and grounded atmosphere. Because of its medium LRV of 56.81, it won't make a small room feel larger, but it will add significant depth and character to the walls.

This shade works best as a main wall color in spaces where you want to feel settled, such as a study, bedroom, or dining room. It serves as an excellent neutral alternative to gray or beige, offering more personality without overwhelming the room's decor.

How to Use It

Pair this green with warm wood tones like walnut or cherry to highlight its earthy qualities. For hardware, unlacquered brass adds a sophisticated contrast, while matte black fixtures will give the space a sharper, more modern edge.

The Mood

Living with this color feels stable and restful, much like being in a quiet forest. It provides a balanced, organic backdrop that is calming to the eyes without feeling dull or overly energizing.

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.
