Celtic Green

2038-10

Celtic Green is a deep leafy green with cool undertones and a dark, saturated profile. An LRV of 11.23 indicates very low reflectance and a strong depth of color. It works in studies, dining rooms, or feature walls where a dark green is required.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Simply White for crisp contrast. Saybrook Sage or Forest Moss keep the palette analogous, while Golden Honey or Fire Dance add warm accents.
