This Benjamin Moore Shade Is the Perfect 'Inky Green' for an Expensive-Looking but Unexpected Color Scheme

Dark green kitchen painted in benjamin moore's salamander shade, with timber freestanding island bench, a pendant light hanging overhead, cafe curtains on windows, and a freestanding timber cabinet and butler's sink.

As many interior buffs and design lovers already know well, Benjamin Moore is the paint company of choice for rich, sumptuous shades. With vast and exciting color offerings, they can instantly snap you out of even the most persistent design ruts and quality to match. It's no wonder they are consistently heralded as one of the most premium options on the market. We’ve lusted over their neutrals and their pastels alike, but now, our attention has been caught by a deeper, moodier, more sultry tone. Okay, we’ll admit it — a paint shade has seduced us. But once you discover the allure of Salamander, you won’t blame us.

There are many popular Benjamin Moore Paint colors, but this one takes the crown. Named after its 'chameleon' like nature, Salamander is a deep, inky green that seamlessly adapts to its surroundings, morphing into the ideal backdrop, no matter the setting. Black, blue, and green are shaken and stirred into a color cocktail with an enduring and wide-reaching appeal. Despite its intense depth of tone, it takes deliberate intention for Salamander to appear overly dark. When combined with lighter neutrals and plenty of natural light, this shade adds the perfect touch of moodiness to the home, giving it a more balanced, nuanced feel.
