About Courtyard Green
Courtyard Green (546) is a deep, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 20, Courtyard Green absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Courtyard Green's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. Next to Oak Grove (489), it's cooler and more colorful.
