Benjamin Moore

Mallard Green

2053-10

Mallard Green is a dark blue-green with a teal undertone that leans slightly more blue than green in most lighting conditions. At an LRV of 7.74, it absorbs a significant amount of light and will read very deep on walls, approaching near-black in poorly lit areas while revealing its teal complexity under stronger illumination. The cool base keeps it from feeling heavy or muddy.

It pairs effectively with White Dove or Ballet White for necessary contrast, can be layered with Van Courtland Blue or Guilford Green, and holds its ground alongside Kendall Charcoal or New London Burgundy.
