Blue Lagoon

2054-40

Blue Lagoon is a medium blue with clear teal undertones. Its LRV of 29.89 gives it mid-dark depth and strong saturation. It works on accent walls, bathrooms, or cabinetry where a teal-blue is desired.

Chantilly Lace and Simply White keep contrast crisp, while Ocean Air and Waterfall stay within the teal range. Hale Navy or Black Pepper can add depth.
