Salamander
Benjamin Moore
2050-10
Salamander is a blackened green-teal, so dark it reads as a near-black with a cold-water cast until light hits it. It suits libraries, moody dining rooms, cabinetry, and exterior doors where black feels obvious and dark green too leafy. Against warm whites and brass it delivers serious depth with an undercurrent of color.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Salamander?

Is Salamander warm or cool?
Salamander is cool, a deep green-teal that behaves like a soft black in most light. The LRV is approximately 4, so the green character appears only in strong daylight or under directed lighting. In dim rooms it reads black with a hint of something more interesting. That restraint is the appeal: it pairs with warm whites, walnut, and aged brass, adding depth that flat black cannot.
Why does Salamander look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #2F3E3E as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Salamander have?
Salamander has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 4, meaning it reflects about 4% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
