Benjamin Moore

Emerald Isle

2039-20

Emerald Isle is a deep, saturated green with noticeable blue undertones. Its LRV of 15.84 means it absorbs a significant amount of light, making it best suited for accent walls or rooms with ample natural light. The blue undertone shifts the hue away from pure green toward a cooler reading on the color wheel.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy, White Dove, Simply White, Mediterranean Teal, and Forest Green. Lighter trim colors are recommended to offset its low reflectance.
