Behr

Yucatan

P490-5

Yucatan is a vivid turquoise blue with a strong green undertone. The turquoise strength belongs on surfaces meant to stand out. The color can make a front door, pool bath, or painted outdoor chair feel intentional and bright.

On bedroom walls, it may become too active unless the furnishings stay very simple. Sunlight intensifies the aqua side. Pair it with crisp white and sandy stone. Avoid muddy beige nearby, which can make the color look cheaper.
