About Mistletoe
Mistletoe (474) is a deep, muted green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 30, Mistletoe 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 Mistletoe'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. It's very close to Homestead (CC-724); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Mistletoe changes with the light
Mistletoe has a gentle warm undertone that keeps it from going cold in north-facing rooms, and it looks a touch warmer again in afternoon west light.
North-facing rooms
Mistletoe's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Mistletoe will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
Bright south light shows Mistletoe close to its true color, slightly lighter and warmer.
West-facing rooms
Mistletoe will glow warmer in the late afternoon.
