Benjamin Moore

Mermaid's Tale

577

Mermaid's Tale is a saturated aqua-green from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 63.86, making it a notably light and high-reflectance color. Its undertones lean distinctly green with a cool, minty bias, differentiating it from bluer turquoises in the same range. The color reads fresh and clear in well-lit rooms and shifts slightly warmer under incandescent light.

It pairs naturally with Spring Mint 2040-70 for a lighter tonal step, Cloud White OC-130 for crisp trim, Healing Aloe 1562 as a muted wall companion, Gentleman's Gray 2062-20 for contrast, and Sea Salt CSP-95 to maintain a coastal register.
