Cucumber
Benjamin Moore's Cucumber is a green shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. With an LRV of 75.2, it sits on the light-reflective side of the palette and can feel especially open in generous daylight. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
