Benjamin Moore Soft Fern has proven to be a wonderful kitchen cabinet paint color! There are many grey-green colors out there, but my “Palm Beach” styled home needed a less earthy color than many of the Farrow and Ball popular kitchen paint colors used.
Soft Fern by Benjamin Moore is a warm and light colored green that is a mix between warm-mint and pale-sage. At least, this is how I describe it as an artist.

The time of day effects this kitchen paint color and any kitchen paint color. I have several windows in my kitchen (3 actually), so daytime light brings in cool-blue light that also cools the color of green in the Soft Fern.
Kitchen Cabinets Painted Soft Fern
This image of Benjamin Moore Soft Fern cabinetry shows a less saturated green because of al the natural light. The hue is much more pale and cool. It looks grey-green and less moss-green.
Pale Green Kitchen
Here is the whole kitchen at a glance! The Kravel ‘Umbrella’ fabric for the Roman Shades helps pull all the various colors together and looks so magical next to the Soft Fern painted cabinetry!
I chose another complimentary coral fabric for the kitchen chairs and I sent it out to be “plastic-coated” the same way that diners do, in order to protect the fabric.
Initially, this may seem like an expensive step, but the life of the stool is nearly for forever since they are perfectly wipeable!

This image is a little over-exposed and doesn’t show the color quite accurately. But it’s nice to see vent-hood straight on.
A Sage Green Kitchen Dream
These cabinets are painted in the semi-gloss sheen of Benjamin Moore Soft Fern. My trick for this is that if your painted sprays the cabinetry, the sheen is reduced when it comes out as a spray. So semi-gloss sprayed, appears in the final stage as a satin finish.
This is still perfectly wipeable and perfectly elegant with a ‘new’ look all the time.
This concludes my post about my kitchen cabinets and the wonderful paint color, Soft Fern by Benjamin Moore. I hope it proved helpful!
