Benjamin Moore

Tropical Teal

734

Tropical Teal (BM) is an intense, saturated teal with strong blue-green undertones that place it squarely between blue and green on the color wheel. With an LRV of 21.36, it sits in the lower-mid range for reflectance, giving it a deep, concentrated appearance that will command attention on any surface. The balanced blue-green base means it does not lean heavily in either direction, reading as a true teal.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Edgecomb Gray, Hale Navy, Seafoam Green, and Tranquil Blue across a range from warm neutrals to analogous cool tones.
