Benjamin Moore

Taffeta Green

843

Taffeta Green (Benjamin Moore) is a pale, high-key green with cool undertones and an LRV of 75.05, placing it in the light-reflective range suitable for brightening walls and trim. The cool bias gives it a clean, slightly minty read under neutral lighting, though it remains clearly green rather than blue-green. It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim contrast, Soft Fern for a tonal green scheme, Palladian Blue for an analogous cool pairing, Pale Sea Mist for a closely related hue step, and Hale Navy where a strong dark accent is needed.

Taffeta Green in Different Light
