Benjamin Moore

Newburg Green

HC-158 / 1651

Newburg Green by Benjamin Moore is a deep teal that leans slightly more blue than green, producing a cool, concentrated appearance. At an LRV of 10.58, it absorbs most light and functions best on accent walls or in rooms with strong natural illumination. The blue-green balance gives it a grounded, classic quality suited to traditional and transitional interiors.

It coordinates well with warm neutrals like Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Ballet White, and layered tonal schemes benefit from adjacent hues such as Van Deusen Blue, Stratton Blue, or Lenox Tan.
