Winter Green

2045-60

Winter Green (BM) is a light mint green with notable blue undertones, yielding a cool, high-reflectance profile at an LRV of 74.07. The hex value #B3EDE2 indicates a saturated aqua-mint that retains clarity without tipping into pastel weakness. Under warm lighting, the green component becomes more dominant; under cool lighting, the blue undertone advances.

Within Benjamin Moore's range, it pairs effectively with Deep Royal, Simply White, Gray Owl, Spring Mint, and Kensington Blue, accommodating both neutral-grounded and analogous cool-toned applications.
