Benjamin Moore

Parrot Green

CW-465

Parrot Green is a medium green with clear yellow undertones that give it warmth and intensity. An LRV of 42.21 places it in a mid-range depth, allowing it to read saturated without becoming heavy. The undertone prevents it from shifting blue in low light.

It is suited to accent walls, dining spaces, or creative rooms where stronger color presence is acceptable. It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy for contrast, while Palladian Blue or Hawthorne Yellow soften transitions within the palette.
