About Green Bay
Green Bay (2045-10) is a very dark, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 8, Green Bay absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
North-facing light makes Green Bay read cooler and slightly darker, while warm south-facing light softens it. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. It's very close to Calypso Green (2046-10); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Green Bay changes with the light
Green Bay is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.
North-facing rooms
Green Bay will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Green Bay will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
South light keeps Green Bay from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.
West-facing rooms
Green Bay looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
