Green Sponge

2046-40

Green Sponge is a bright teal-green with strong cool undertones that lean toward cyan. With an LRV of 44.05, this color provides moderate light reflectance while maintaining its saturated character, making it appropriate for kitchens, home offices, or playrooms where energy is welcome. The pronounced blue undertones distinguish it from warmer, leafy greens.

This shade pairs with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl for a cool neutral balance, Chantilly Lace for clean white contrast, Newburyport Blue for coordinated depth, Black Forest Green for tonal layering, and Turquoise Haze for an analogous cool palette.
