Reef Green Technical Profile
What color is Reef Green? It's a light cool green with the hex code #AAFFB8. Reef Green has a cool (green) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. At LRV 66, Reef Green sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions.
