Benjamin Moore

Reef Green

2042-20

Reef Green (#007E5D) is a saturated dark green with cool undertones and an LRV of 16.0, absorbing the majority of available light while still maintaining visible chromatic intensity. Despite its depth, it carries an internal brightness that prevents it from reading as flat or muddy. The cool lean places it closer to teal than olive on the green spectrum.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace creates a high-contrast pairing on adjacent surfaces, while Newburyport Blue and Aegean Teal extend the cool palette. Manchester Tan introduces a warm neutral break, and First Light offers a soft complementary accent.
