Benjamin Moore

Turtle Green

2142-20

Turtle Green (BM) is a dark olive green with warm, earthy undertones and an LRV of 12.88, making it a low-reflectance color suited for accent walls or smaller spaces. At hex #696449, it reads as a muted, brownish green with noticeable yellow-brown warmth rather than a cool or blue-toned green. Its depth absorbs light considerably, so it functions best in well-lit rooms.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore's Manchester Tan, White Dove, Hale Navy, Revere Pewter, and Terra Cotta.
