What color is Benjamin Moore Narragansett Green?
Benjamin Moore Narragansett Green HC-157 is a deep, muted blue-green with a strong gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool, smoky character can read almost like softened charcoal in dim rooms, while clearer daylight brings out more of its blue-green presence. This shade has enough depth for a dining room, library, or exterior siding, where it creates definition without appearing black. On cabinetry or a built-in, Narragansett Green pairs especially well with warm white walls, brushed brass hardware, natural oak, and pale stone. Use it alongside creamy neutrals or dusty blue accents to emphasize its restrained, weathered-looking color.

What are Benjamin Moore Narragansett Green undertones?
Narragansett Green is a deep, very muted blue-green with a dark, low-saturation character that can read close to charcoal in low light. The supplied digital color leans subtly teal, with both green and blue present, though that bias is restrained rather than strongly pronounced. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “blackened teal,” which fits its visible blue-green main family while emphasizing its unusually dark depth. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly greener cast, while cooler daylight can make its blue-teal side more noticeable, though the overall color should remain dark and subdued.

LRV of Narragansett Green
Narragansett Green has an LRV of 9.14% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 9.14%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
