Lily Pad Technical Profile

What color is Lily Pad? It's a medium cool green with the hex code #BAC3A3. Colors similar to Lily Pad include Behr Koala Bear, PPG Quaking Grass, Hirshfield's Wispy Mint. Lily Pad has a cool (green) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. At LRV 52, Lily Pad sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. Pair it with off-whites like Simply White, walnut or rift-cut oak floors, and mixed metals — brass for warmth, matte black for grounding. Terracotta and rust accents add warm contrast. Greens shift the most under different light. 2700K warms them toward olive or yellow-green; 4000K daylight reveals their true tone. Bluer greens especially benefit from north-facing daylight.
