Par Four

Benjamin Moore · 470

The Analysis

Par Four is a soft, muted sage-green that acts as a neutral. With an LRV of 66.28, it reflects a significant amount of light, which helps smaller rooms feel more open and airy without the harshness of a stark white.

This is a versatile main wall color that works well in open-concept living spaces or bedrooms. It provides enough character to be interesting, but remains subtle enough to let your furniture and decor take the lead.

How to Use It

It pairs beautifully with warm oak or walnut wood tones and matte black hardware for a high-contrast, modern look. Use it in kitchens or bathrooms where you want a clean feel that isn't clinical.

The Mood

This color is inherently restful and grounded. Because it mimics natural foliage, it creates a calm, consistent backdrop that feels balanced and easy to live with long-term.

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.
