About Ming Jade
Ming Jade (2043-20) is a very dark, medium-strength green from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 13, Ming Jade absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.

How Ming Jade changes with the light
Ming Jade 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
Ming Jade will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Ming Jade 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 Ming Jade from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.
West-facing rooms
Ming Jade looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
