What color is Benjamin Moore Potpourri Green?

Benjamin Moore Potpourri Green 2029-50 is a light, yellow-leaning green with a softened, lightly muted appearance. Its pale green base carries enough warmth to keep it from reading icy, while the subdued saturation prevents it from feeling overly bright on large walls. In daylight, this shade can look fresh and leafy; under warmer bulbs, its yellow cast may become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and garden-facing spaces where a gentle wash of color is wanted. Pair Potpourri Green with creamy white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and quiet clay or terracotta accents for a grounded palette.
