Benjamin Moore

Pacific Sea Teal

2049-10

Pacific Sea Teal is a near-black blue-green from Benjamin Moore with complex cool undertones. Its Light Reflectance Value of 5.93 places it among the deepest paint colors available, absorbing nearly all ambient light. Due to its intensity, it functions well on accent walls in living rooms or dining areas where a bold, moody effect is needed, though it should be balanced with lighter surfaces.

Pairing it with White Dove or Stonington Gray provides necessary contrast, while Aegean Teal and Caribbean Blue Water offer analogous coordination, and Hawthorne Yellow introduces a sharp complementary accent.
