What color is Benjamin Moore Yukon Green?

Benjamin Moore Yukon Green 2051-10 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable blue-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly forest-like. Its low-light depth gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, while brighter daylight can bring out more of its restrained teal character. Use it in a dining room, study, or powder room where a darker color can create definition without appearing black. Yukon Green also has enough presence for kitchen cabinetry or a painted built-in, especially alongside warm white walls, natural oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware. Pair it with soft putty, creamy off-white, or clay-toned accents to add warmth around its cool green base.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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).
