Benjamin Moore

Adam Green

2037-40

Adam Green by Benjamin Moore is a saturated, cool-toned green with noticeable blue in its base. Its LRV of 46.02 places it in the mid-range, reflecting enough light to keep a room feeling open while still delivering clear color. It is well-suited for bathrooms, sunrooms, or accent walls where a distinct green statement is the intention.

The blue undertone prevents it from reading as yellow-green under warm light sources. It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore colors such as White Dove, Gray Owl, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Palladian Blue.
