How it reads

Kennebunkport Green is a soft, greyed sage-olive from Benjamin Moore's Historical Colors — the green of hedges seen in shade rather than sun. At LRV 31 it is a true mid-tone: a color, not a neutral, but a gentle one that never shouts.

It is glorious in a library with books and worn leather, and just as good on kitchen cabinetry with unlacquered brass. Cool light greys it toward sage; warm light pulls the olive forward and it feels cosier.

Questions

Is Kennebunkport Green a sage?
A sage-olive — softer and greyer than a leaf green, with a little more depth than most sages.
Does Kennebunkport Green work with dark wood?
Beautifully. Mahogany, walnut and aged leather all look richer against it.
