Benjamin Moore

Dark Celery

2146-10

Dark Celery is a vivid green with noticeable golden undertones that give it an earthy warmth. Its LRV of 21.32 places it in the medium-low reflectance range, providing solid visual weight on a wall. The yellow-green character makes it a strong candidate for accent walls or focal areas.

It coordinates well with Golden Straw and Concord Ivory for a warm scheme, while Manchester Tan and Linen White offer softer contrast. Hale Navy works as a bold complementary pairing from the same palette.
