Benjamin Moore

North Sea Green

2053-30

North Sea Green is a deep teal from Benjamin Moore characterized by a noticeable gray undertone that tempers its blue-green saturation into a muted, moody range. With an LRV of 14.81, it reflects limited light and functions best in spaces with adequate natural or artificial illumination, such as accent walls in living rooms or dining areas. Chantilly Lace provides clean white contrast against its depth, while Revere Pewter offers a softer neutral bridge.

For analogous pairings, Tropicana Cabana and Paradise Green extend the blue-green family, and Hale Navy adds complementary depth without shifting the overall cool palette.
