About Newt Green
Newt Green (2149-10) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 21, Newt Green 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 Newt 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, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. Next to Perfectly Pesto (CSP-895), it's warmer.
