Benjamin Moore

Terrapin Green

2145-20

Terrapin Green is a muted pea green from Benjamin Moore with warm yellow undertones that give it a slightly aged, retro character. Its LRV of 25.24 places it in the lower-middle range of reflectance, so it reads as a moderately dark tone on walls. The olive-yellow base is more pronounced in natural light and shifts toward a flatter green under cooler artificial lighting.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Simply White, Chantilly Lace, Hawthorne Yellow, Kittery Point Green, and Georgian Green, working within both warm neutral and green-forward schemes.
