Benjamin Moore

Mermaid Green

2039-50

Mermaid Green is a bright aqua from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 61.47, placing it in the upper-mid range of light reflectance. The color carries noticeable green and blue undertones, leaning more toward mint than true teal. Its high saturation gives it a vivid, clean read on walls without veering into neon territory.

This shade coordinates well with Palladian Blue HC-144 for a tonal aquatic palette, White Dove OC-17 as a soft trim white, Hale Navy HC-154 for deep contrast, and Revere Pewter HC-172 or Golden Straw 2152-50 to introduce warmth.
