Benjamin Moore

Egyptian Green

2043-40

Egyptian Green is a bright green with a noticeable aqua undertone, giving it a cool, blue-shifted appearance. Its LRV of 43.68 places it in the mid-range for light reflectance, so it reads clearly without overwhelming a space. The cool undertones make it suitable for rooms that receive warm natural light.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for a clean contrast, Soft Sky or Ocean Air for tonal coordination, and Newburyport Blue or Black Forest Green for deeper anchoring within the same palette.
