Benjamin Moore

Adriatic Sea

CSP-660

Adriatic Sea is a deep teal blue from Benjamin Moore with strong blue-green undertones. Its LRV of 8.01 makes it a dark, saturated color that absorbs most ambient light, so it is best reserved for accent walls, cabinetry, or smaller rooms where a concentrated tone is intentional. It reads as a rich navy-teal in low light and shows more green in direct sunlight.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Simply White provide necessary lightness alongside it, Kendall Charcoal can anchor a tonal scheme, and Aegean Teal or Palladian Blue offer related but lighter options.
