Benjamin Moore

Caribe Green

2042-50

Caribe Green is a bright blue-green with cool undertones and a clear chroma. With an LRV of 61.21, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads vivid on large surfaces. It fits kitchens, baths, or accent walls where a strong aquatic tone is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Heron or Soft Chinchilla to keep the scheme light. Hale Navy or Black Forest Green add depth, while Blue Lagoon or Tropicana Cabana keep the hue family consistent.
