Benjamin Moore

Scuba Green

2046-50

Scuba Green is a saturated mid-tone green with distinct cool, blue-leaning undertones that read as aqua under natural light. At an LRV of 60.51, it reflects a moderate amount of light while retaining strong chromatic presence on walls. The color holds its intensity in well-lit rooms but can shift slightly toward teal in shaded areas.

It pairs cleanly with Chantilly Lace or Simply White as trim colors, and gains depth alongside Newburyport Blue or Hale Navy. For a tonal scheme, Beach Glass provides a softer adjacent option.
