Benjamin Moore

Leprechaun

2044-20

Leprechaun is a saturated blue-green with an LRV of 16.4, placing it firmly in the deeper end of the value scale. Its cool, teal-leaning undertone gives it a sharp clarity that distinguishes it from warmer forest greens. The low reflectance means it will absorb a good deal of light in any space.

Whispering Spring or Ice Mist work as lighter companions to relieve the density, and pairing with Soot or Black Beauty creates a rich, grounded contrast. Chantilly Lace on trim offers a clean break against the intensity.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
