About Dark Celery
Dark Celery (2146-10) is a deep, bold green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 22, Dark Celery absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Dark Celery'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, offices, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. Next to Oregano (2147-10), it's warmer and more colorful.
