Fiddlehead Green

2041-20

Fiddlehead Green is a dark green with noticeable blue undertones that pull the hue toward teal. It has an LRV of 10.74, placing it in the low-reflectance range where it absorbs most ambient light. This makes it appropriate for accent walls, smaller rooms intended to feel enclosed, or spaces with strong artificial lighting.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Nimbus for a cool neutral balance. Chestertown Buff introduces warm contrast, while Newburg Green and Hale Navy reinforce its blue-green depth.
