Benjamin Moore

Tropical Turquoise

2052-30

Tropical Turquoise (BM) is a deep blue-green that sits between jade and teal, with cool undertones that keep it firmly in the green-blue family. Its LRV of 14.58 makes it one of the darker colors in the turquoise range, absorbing significant light and reading as a rich, concentrated tone on walls. The balance between its blue and green components gives it a stable, consistent hue that does not shift dramatically under different lighting.

It works well with Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee, White Dove, Tranquil Blue, Newburyport Blue, and Hale Navy for schemes ranging from bright neutral contrast to layered deep tones.
