Calypso Green

2046-10

Calypso Green is a dark green with a cool undertone. With an LRV of 8.92, it is very dark and absorbs light. It works on cabinetry, feature walls, or libraries where a low-reflectance green is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or White Dove for crisp contrast. Silken Pine and Cedar Mountains provide related greens. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.
