How they read
In their own wordsHerb Bouquet 460 is a mid-tone green from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection. The brand's description: "Moody sage undertones strike the right chord with this versatile green." Its LRV is 35.37, so it is a true mid-tone rather than a pale sage.
Calke 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.
