Par Four
What Par Four Actually Looks Like
Par Four reads as a cool sage green with a notable gray component. It sits in that middle zone between green and gray, never leaning too aggressively in either direction. In bright daylight it shows more green. In dimmer or north-facing light it pulls grayer and can feel almost neutral.
Par Four Undertones
The hex and RGB values confirm a balanced gray-green with no warm yellow or blue bias to speak of. The green and gray sit in close equilibrium, which is what keeps this color versatile but also what can make it feel a little soft or recessive if your space lacks natural contrast.
Where Par Four Works Best
Par Four works well in spaces where you want color without commitment. Bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices are natural fits because the gray keeps it calm while the green gives it enough life to feel intentional. It can also work on exteriors, particularly on shingle or clapboard siding where muted tones read well at scale.
Where to put Par Four
Par Four is genuinely restful in a bedroom. The gray component takes the edge off the green so it never feels too leafy or outdoorsy, and the relatively high light reflectance keeps the space from feeling dark even with modest window exposure.
A gray-green at this value is easy to spend hours in. It does not demand attention, which is exactly what you want behind a screen or on a call. Pair it with white built-ins and the room feels organized without being sterile.
In a living room with good natural light, Par Four shows its green side and feels fresh without being bold. In a room that relies on lamps and artificial light, lean on warm-toned bulbs to keep it from reading flat or cool.
Muted gray-greens perform reliably on exteriors because they read differently across seasons and sky conditions without ever clashing with landscaping. Par Four at this saturation level fits that category well.

Common questions
Par Four has an LRV of 64.33, which puts it solidly in the medium-light range. It is not a dark color and will not make a low-light room feel like a cave, but in a north-facing room with little natural light it will read distinctly grayer. If your room is quite dim, go a shade lighter or compensate with warm artificial lighting.
Eggshell is the most practical choice for living spaces and bedrooms. It cleans up reasonably well and does not emphasize wall imperfections the way flat does. Save flat for ceilings. Use satin in kitchens or bathrooms where moisture and scrubbing are regular concerns.
Yes, Par Four is available in both interior and exterior Benjamin Moore formulas.
It depends on your light. In good south or west natural light it leans green. In lower or north-facing light the gray comes forward and it can read nearly neutral. The balance between the two is actually what makes it appealing for people who want green without a strong commitment to it.
