Benjamin Moore

Chartreuse

2024-10

Chartreuse is a yellow-green with a strong green bias and clear chroma. With an LRV of 41.51, it reads mid-tone and stays vivid on full walls. It works in kitchens, dining areas, or creative spaces where a saturated yellow-green is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Gray Owl to temper the intensity. Pale Avocado or Soleil keep the palette analogous, while Hale Navy or Shadow provide contrast.
