Benjamin Moore

Green Leaf

2045-30

Green Leaf is a saturated, cool-toned green with blue undertones that give it a clean, aquatic quality. With an LRV of 25.8, this color has moderate-to-low light reflectance and works well as an accent wall or in spaces with strong natural light such as sunrooms or creative workspaces. The intensity of this green makes it a statement color rather than a background neutral.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Simply White for sharp contrast, Chantilly Lace for brightness, Cool Aqua for tonal continuity, Poolside Blue as an analogous companion, and Deep Space for dramatic depth.
