Benjamin Moore

Newt Green

2149-10

Newt Green by Benjamin Moore is a complex, muted tone where yellow and green merge to produce an earthy, acidic character distinct from standard greens. With an LRV of 19.61, it sits in the lower-mid reflectance range, lending weight to walls in kitchens, dining rooms, or feature walls that benefit from a grounded, warm-leaning hue. The yellow component introduces subtle warmth beneath the green surface.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Soft Chamois as lighter counterpoints, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide strong tonal contrast, and Fresh Grass extends its green range.
