Benjamin Moore
Margarita
2026-20
Margarita is a vivid yellow-green with dominant chartreuse undertones that lean noticeably toward yellow rather than true green. At an LRV of 46.23, it reflects a moderate amount of light and maintains its intensity on the wall without appearing washed out. Electric Orange and Raspberry Blush offer high-contrast, complementary pairings that amplify its energy, while Lemonade and Spring Meadow create a more gradual tonal range.
Cloud White works as a clean, neutral trim color that lets the green remain the focal point without competing for attention.
