Benjamin Moore

Dark Teal

2053-20

Dark Teal by Benjamin Moore is a deep green with clear teal undertones that push the hue toward blue-green rather than pure green. It has an LRV of 10.12, so it absorbs most light and will appear quite dark in rooms with limited natural light. The cool undertones give it a steady, grounded character on the wall.

St. Lucia Teal and Caribbean Blue Water complement it within the same blue-green family, while Simply White and Cloud White provide clean contrast. Black Forest Green works as a tonal neighbor in deeper palettes.
