How it reads

Creekside Green is a mid-dark grey with hazy green tones — Benjamin Moore's own description calls it 'moody' and 'enigmatic', and that is right. It is neither a clear green nor a flat grey but the colour of lichen on a shaded stone.

Because it is so muted, it suits bathrooms and panelled rooms where you want depth without saturation. It sits well with marble, unlacquered brass and warm white tile, and it deepens handsomely in low light.

Questions

Is Creekside Green more grey or green?
Grey first, green second. In bright daylight the green comes forward; in a dim room it reads as a warm charcoal-grey.
What colours go with Creekside Green?
Warm whites, walnut, brass and terracotta. Avoid cool blue-whites, which make it look muddy.
