Goodwin Green

CW-555

Goodwin Green is a deep, saturated green with cool undertones that shift subtly toward blue-gray, reflecting the historic verdigris pigment's natural aging characteristics. With an LRV of 10.79, this low-light-reflecting shade works well in studies, libraries, or dining rooms where a grounded atmosphere is appropriate. It coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for tonal depth, Chantilly Lace for clean contrast, Revere Pewter as a warm neutral bridge, and Hunter Green for a layered green scheme.
