Narragansett Green

HC-157 / 1652

Narragansett Green (HC-157) is a dark, blackened teal from Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection, with an LRV of 9.14 that marks it as a deep, low-reflectance color. Its base green is heavily tempered by blue and gray undertones, pushing it into near-charcoal territory in dim conditions while revealing more green in strong natural light. The blue component gives it a cooler lean than a standard forest green.

It pairs effectively with Manchester Tan (HC-81) and Swiss Coffee (OC-45) for warm neutral contrast, Tranquil Blue (2051-50) for a cool tonal extension, and White Ice (OC-58) for a crisp lighter complement.
