Maidenhair Fern

Maidenhair Fern begins as a green color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. It appears in Benjamin Moore Classics® Color Collection, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
