Monmouth Green

2038-40

Monmouth Green (2038-40) is a bright jade green with distinct blue undertones that push it toward teal. With an LRV of 44.15, it sits at a true mid-tone, reflecting enough light to read clearly without overwhelming a room. The blue component tempers the green, giving it a cooler, aquatic quality rather than a leafy or grassy one.

Within the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates with Ice Mist (OC-67) as a near-white complement, Blue Note (2129-30) for deeper contrast, White Heron (OC-57) for clean trim, and Paper White (OC-55) to keep surrounding surfaces light and neutral.
