Benjamin Moore

Pacific Ocean Blue

2055-20

Pacific Ocean Blue by Benjamin Moore is a deep, saturated teal with strong cool undertones that produce a concentrated appearance on surfaces. Its light reflectance value of 10.55 makes it one of the darker options in the palette, absorbing most room light and creating a pronounced visual anchor wherever applied. The hue combines blue and green in near-equal measure, resulting in a teal that reads as distinctly oceanic.

It suits accent walls or feature cabinetry where a bold, dark focal point is intended. Pacific Ocean Blue works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Simply White, Revere Pewter, and Kendall Charcoal.
