Benjamin Moore

Ming Jade

2043-20

Benjamin Moore Ming Jade (2043-20) is a deep, saturated green with a clear blue undertone, giving it a teal character. With an LRV of 14.05, it absorbs most light and reads as a strong, dark color on walls. The blue shift separates it from warmer, yellowed greens and keeps it cool-toned across lighting conditions.

It pairs with the similarly deep Beau Green (2054-20), the darker anchor of Black Forest Green (2047-10), the balanced Pine Green (2051-20), and the lighter counterpoint of Antigua Aqua (2040-60) for tonal contrast.
