Benjamin Moore

Aruba Blue

2048-30

Aruba Blue is a bold turquoise-green from Benjamin Moore with strong cool undertones and an LRV of 21.08, which means it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a saturated mid-tone on walls. The hue sits between blue and green on the spectrum, leaning toward teal. It holds its intensity in well-lit rooms but can darken noticeably in low-light spaces.

White Heron and Decorators White work as clean trim options alongside it, while Midnight Navy and Black Forest Green can anchor darker accents. For a lighter step in the same cool family, Ocean Air offers a softer transition.
