Benjamin Moore

Baltic Sea

CSP-680

Baltic Sea is a bluish teal with both blue and green undertones that keep it cool. Its LRV of 22.2 places it in the darker mid-range, so it reads rich on walls. Warm light shifts it slightly greener.

It is suitable for bedrooms, baths, or accent walls where a deeper teal is needed. Pair it with Chantilly Lace and Sea Foam for light contrast, and add Hale Navy or Quiet Moments for coordination.

Baltic Sea 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.
