Benjamin Moore

Poolside Blue

2048-40

Poolside Blue by Benjamin Moore is a saturated turquoise with strong cool undertones that lean evenly between blue and green. Its LRV of 39.87 places it in the medium reflectance range, allowing it to read as vivid on walls while still returning a fair amount of light to the room. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, and accent walls in open-plan spaces where a concentrated color statement is needed.

Chantilly Lace and Stonington Gray offer neutral balance alongside it, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide grounding depth. Pairing with a softer tone like Palladian Blue can ease transitions between adjacent surfaces.
