Benjamin Moore

Lake Victoria

668

Lake Victoria is a robin's egg blue with noticeable green undertones that soften its coolness and pull it toward teal territory. At an LRV of 57.13, it sits comfortably in the medium-light range, reflecting enough light to keep a room open without losing color definition. The green lean is more pronounced under warm light and recedes under cooler daylight.

It coordinates with Soft Fern and Pale Sea Mist for an analogous range, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply depth. Simply White and Revere Pewter work as neutral companions.

Lake Victoria in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
