Benjamin Moore

Gulf Stream

670

Gulf Stream is a medium teal with green undertones that soften its blue base and create a balanced, approachable appearance. With an LRV of 38.73, it reflects moderate light and can work on full walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms without overwhelming the space. The green undertones keep it from reading as a stark blue.

This color works alongside Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for crisp trim, Simply White as a softer alternative, Van Deusen Blue for a tonal pairing, and Hawthorne Yellow to introduce complementary warmth.
