Benjamin Moore

Lucky Shamrock

609

Lucky Shamrock is a deep emerald green with an LRV of 18.08, registering in the lower-middle range of light reflectance. Pronounced blue undertones shift the hue away from a purely botanical green toward a cooler, more mineral quality. The color holds significant depth and reads darker in rooms with limited natural light.

White Dove OC-17 and Gray Owl OC-52 provide clean, neutral contrast for trim and adjacent walls. Tranquil Blue 2051-50 and Seafoam Green 2039-60 extend the cool palette, while Warm Sienna 1203 and Deep Caviar 2130-20 anchor darker accents.
