Benjamin Moore

Exotic Bloom

551

Exotic Bloom is a saturated yet light-bodied green with cool undertones that prevent it from shifting toward yellow. It has an LRV of 47.33, placing it at a moderate reflectance level that balances brightness and color depth. The cool base keeps the green clean and distinct on the wall.

It is appropriate for accent walls, full-room applications, or trim contrast in contemporary spaces. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Black Forest Green, Seafoam Green, or Soft Fern for tonal coordination.

Exotic Bloom 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.
