What is the paint color used for the Monet bridge and benches in the NYBG Exhibition?
Answer
Well, it appears this question has been asked many times and our Department of Exhibitions and Public Engagement has the answer below:
My most frequently asked question strikes again!
It is Pantone 327 and the closest Benjamin Moore match is Juniper.
Monet’s actual paint color varies within the site (looking at photos and videos shutters appear to be a variety of greens, benches, steps, and rails are a variety of greens too) and varies through time. We chose this green by doing sample colors from painting and photo matching, as well as consulting the experts at the Monet home."
