Benjamin Moore

Dartsmouth Green

691 / AC-20, TH-220

Dartsmouth Green is a muted blue-green with herbaceous character and understated blue undertones that keep it from leaning too warm. Its LRV of 25.95 places it in the mid-low range, so it absorbs moderate light while still maintaining enough reflectance to avoid feeling heavy. The blue base becomes more apparent under cooler lighting.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Saybrook Sage. This shade is commonly applied in studies and living areas where a grounded, quiet green is needed.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
