Benjamin Moore

Irish Moss

2036-20

Irish Moss is a deep green with cool undertones and an LRV of 16.51, indicating substantial light absorption. This saturated green carries enough depth for use in libraries, studies, or as an accent in living spaces and kitchens where a grounded green presence is appropriate. The cool cast prevents the green from reading too yellow.

This color pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Saybrook Sage, supporting both neutral and tonal green combinations.
