Cactus Green

2035-20

Cactus Green is a deep green with a cool undertone. Its LRV of 14.18 makes it a dark color that absorbs light. It works on cabinetry, built-ins, or accent walls in both modern and traditional rooms.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or October Mist for lighter balance. Hale Navy or Bravado Red can be used for strong contrast. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.
