Jalapeño Pepper

2147-30

Jalapeño Pepper (LRV 31.99) is a yellow-green of moderate depth, balanced almost evenly between its green and yellow components. The result is a warm, herbaceous tone that avoids reading as either purely chartreuse or purely olive. It holds enough saturation to function as an accent but enough gray content to stay workable on larger surfaces.

Within the Benjamin Moore palette, it pairs with Caliente and Gentleman's Gray for strong value contrast, and sits in closer tonal range alongside Golden Straw, Fernwood Green, or Aganthus Green.
