The difference
Read from the numbersCalke Green leans neutral where Kennebunkport Green reads warm. Both belong to the green family.
How they read
In their own wordsCalke Green takes its name from the breakfast room at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, and it has the settled, slightly faded quality of a color that has been on a wall for two hundred years. It is a mid-tone green with enough grey to stay calm and enough yellow to stay warm — the green of gardens rather than forests.
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.
