Benjamin Moore

Pacific Rim

678

Pacific Rim is a dark blue from Benjamin Moore with a pronounced teal undertone that shifts its character toward blue-green territory. It registers a Light Reflectance Value of 19.11, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a deep, saturated tone on walls. This makes it well suited for accent walls, bedrooms, and study areas where a concentrated cool-toned backdrop is desired.

It coordinates effectively with Iceberg to draw out the teal undertone, Silver Marlin for a tonal pairing, Balboa Mist as a lighter neutral companion, and Golden Straw to introduce controlled warmth.
