About Chameleon
Chameleon (526) is a light green from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 74, Chameleon 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 Chameleon'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. Next to Green Earth (CW-455), it's cooler.
How Chameleon changes with the light
Chameleon has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.

West-facing rooms
Chameleon will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
