Benjamin Moore

Miami Green

2042-40

Miami Green is a bright aquamarine with blue and green undertones in near-equal proportion, giving it a vivid, saturated presence. With an LRV of 45.80, it sits in the mid-range, reflecting a moderate amount of light while maintaining its intensity. The hex value #3DC6AB reveals a lean toward green over blue, distinguishing it from pure turquoise.

Benjamin Moore's coordinating picks include Chantilly Lace OC-65, Minced Onion 2145-60, Ice Mist OC-67, and Deep Sea Green 735. For a tonal approach, pairing it with Hale Navy HC-154 provides strong contrast anchored in the same cool family.
