Spring has Sprung

Benjamin Moore · CSP-835

The Analysis

Spring has Sprung is a mid-toned, muted olive green that balances warmth and cool undertones. With an LRV of 46.27, it sits right in the middle of the light-reflectance scale, meaning it adds depth to a room without making it feel dark or claustrophobic.

This colour works best as a main wall shade in living areas or as a sophisticated kitchen cabinet finish. Because it is muted, it functions effectively as a neutral that introduces colour without overwhelming the visual space.

LRV 46

History & Origin

This is a modern take on earthy, organic palettes rather than a specific period look. It avoids the neon brightness of mid-century greens, opting instead for a contemporary, nature-inspired feel.

How to Use It

This shade pairs well with warm wood tones like walnut or white oak, as well as matte black hardware for a sharp, modern contrast. It excels in rooms with abundant natural light, where its green undertones can truly settle into the space.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels grounded and calm rather than highly energized. It provides a steady, organic backdrop that feels balanced and approachable 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.
