Benjamin Moore

Thousand Oceans

1645

Thousand Oceans is a deep teal from Benjamin Moore carrying noticeable gray undertones that temper its blue-green saturation. With an LRV of 17.57, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a dark, saturated mid-tone on walls. The gray component prevents it from appearing overly vivid, pulling the color toward a muted, cooled-down register.

It pairs effectively with Silver Marlin, Wickham Gray, Manchester Tan, Van Deusen Blue, and Stratton Blue, and it functions well as an accent wall color or in rooms with strong natural light.
