Benjamin Moore

Medici Malachite

600

Medici Malachite is a mid-tone jade green with pronounced blue undertones that shift its appearance depending on surrounding light and color context. With an LRV of 32.84, it absorbs a moderate amount of light while still maintaining clarity on the wall. The blue-green base carries a slight cool lean, making it distinct from warmer, yellowed greens.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Cotton Balls (OC-122) and Cloud White (OC-130) for contrast, Cheyenne Green (1502) for tonal depth, and Silver Marlin (2139-50) to draw out its cooler side.

Medici Malachite in Different Light
