Benjamin Moore

Tropical Seaweed Green

2030-20

Tropical Seaweed Green (BM) is a bright, saturated medium green with a strong yellow-green lean that gives it an active, chlorophyll-like quality. Its LRV of 28.87 places it in the mid-depth range, meaning it will have noticeable visual weight on larger surfaces. The yellow undertone keeps it from appearing cool or blue-shifted, pushing it firmly into the warm-green category.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore's Blue Danube, Dark Mustard, Fernwood Green, White Dove, and Edgecomb Gray, providing options from bold chromatic contrast to grounded neutral support.
