Benjamin Moore

Teal

2055-10

Teal (2055-10) is a dark, deep blue-green from Benjamin Moore with dominant blue undertones and a secondary green component. Its LRV of 6.49 makes it one of the darker options in the palette, absorbing nearly all ambient light and producing a heavily saturated, low-value appearance. The blue leans slightly cooler than a balanced teal, though the green keeps it from reading as a straight navy.

It works well with White Dove, Edgecomb Gray, Chestertown Buff, Blue Danube, and Sea Reflections, where lighter neutrals and analogous blue-greens provide scale and contrast.

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.
