Benjamin Moore

Caribbean Blue Water

2055-30

Caribbean Blue Water is a vivid turquoise with cool undertones and a slightly green bias. Its LRV of 18.12 places it in the darker range, so it reads saturated rather than airy. It suits bathrooms, feature walls, or cabinetry where a strong blue-green is desired.

Benjamin Moore White Diamond and Gray Owl keep the pairing clean and light. Hale Navy, Lily Lavender, or Palladian Blue provide deeper or softer companions.
