About Celadon Green
Celadon Green (2028-60) is a very light, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 85, Celadon Green reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Celadon Green's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, bathrooms, nurseries and living rooms. It's very close to Lime Ricky (393); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
