San Clemente Teal

730

San Clemente Teal is a light blue-green with an LRV of 66.73, meaning it reflects a high amount of ambient light while still reading as a distinct color on the wall. Its undertones lean equally between blue and green, producing a balanced aqua that does not skew strongly in either direction. Under warm lighting it may appear slightly greener.

Pairing options include Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim contrast, Wickham Gray for a tonal cool scheme, and Hale Navy to anchor darker accents. Palladian Blue and Wythe Blue sit close in hue family for a layered, analogous arrangement.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
