About Kiwi
Kiwi (544) is a deep, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 37, Kiwi 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 Kiwi'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 Green Thumb (CSP-870), it's cooler and more muted.
How Kiwi changes with the light
Kiwi has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms
Kiwi's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Kiwi will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Kiwi can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Kiwi will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
