Erin Green

608

Erin Green is an intense emerald with a cool blue undertone that shifts its appearance away from a standard green. It has an LRV of 23.46, indicating it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a saturated, deeper-value color on walls. The blue cast becomes more apparent under cooler lighting.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Silver Marlin, Gray Owl, White Dove, Simply White, and Hale Navy. This color is appropriate for accent walls or cabinetry where a strong cool green is required.

Erin Green in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
