Benjamin Moore

Marine Aqua

2052-20

Marine Aqua is a deep, saturated teal-green with strong blue undertones that shift depending on light conditions. Its LRV of 9.51 places it firmly in the dark range, absorbing most available light and producing a concentrated, enveloping effect on walls. White Heron and Silver Mist offer necessary lightness as trim or ceiling colors to offset the depth of the green.

Golden Straw provides a warm complementary accent, while Deep Caviar adds tonal richness. Peacock Blue and Jade Green extend the palette within a related cool-toned family.
