Benjamin Moore

Galápagos Turquoise

2057-20

Galapagos Turquoise is a deep teal with strong blue undertones and an LRV of 9.45, indicating minimal light reflectance. This saturated shade works best as an accent wall or in powder rooms where its intensity can be controlled. The blue-green balance leans toward the cooler end of the spectrum.

For coordination, consider Benjamin Moore White Heron as a crisp contrast, Gray Owl for softer transitions, Simply White on millwork, Chantilly Lace for ceilings, and Van Deusen Blue as a complementary deeper tone.
