Behr

Mermaid Sea

P440-7

Mermaid Sea is a deep green-teal with a saturated blue-green body. It feels lush. Choose it for a powder room wall, bathroom vanity, island, or exterior door where depth can be the feature.

With LRV 42, the shade is dark enough to need lighting but not so blackened that the color disappears. White trim gives it snap. Brass and warm oak make it richer. Gray tile can cool it down quickly.
