Benjamin Moore

Ocean Tropic

2052-10

Ocean Tropic by Benjamin Moore is a dark green with teal undertones, registering a low LRV of 7.52 that indicates minimal light reflectance. This depth makes it a strong candidate for accent walls, libraries, or enclosed spaces where a concentrated color effect is desired, though adequate lighting is essential to maintain visibility. The teal shift keeps it from reading as purely forest green, adding a cooler, blue-leaning dimension.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore Aegean Teal and Blue Spa for tonal continuity, White Dove or Silver Satin for necessary lightness contrast, and Burnt Ember for a warm complementary accent.
