Casco Bay

2051-30

Casco Bay is a deep blue-green with teal undertones and a muted cast. An LRV of 15.13 indicates low reflectance, so it reads dark and saturated on large surfaces. It works well for accent walls, built-ins, or dining rooms where a strong cool color is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Blue Seafoam and Ocean Spray for related tones, and use Chantilly Lace or White Dove on trim. Black Pepper can deepen adjacent areas for contrast.

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.
