Benjamin Moore

Aegean Teal

2136-40

Gray softens Aegean Teal's blue-green base, leaving a muted finish. Blue has a slight edge over green. At an LRV of 25.13 it absorbs a fair amount of light, making it a solid option for accent walls, cabinetry, or smaller rooms where a deeper tone is welcome.

White Dove gives it a clean contrast. Saybrook Sage, Smoke, Palladian Blue, and Natural Cream all fit comfortably within a quieter, related palette.

Aegean Teal in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
