About Paradise Green
Paradise Green (2031-20) is a deep, bold green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 35, Paradise 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 Paradise 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, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. Next to Lucky Charm Green (2030-30), it's warmer and more colorful.
