Benjamin Moore

Turquoise Powder

2057-50

Turquoise Powder (BM) is a medium-light blue with cool undertones, registering an LRV of 47.89. At hex #87C0D1, it has a noticeable teal lean, placing it between a standard sky blue and a soft aqua. Its moderate reflectance means it reads clearly as a color rather than a near-neutral, holding its saturation in both natural and artificial light.

Turquoise Powder works well alongside Benjamin Moore's Beach Glass, Seafoam Green, Hale Navy, Simply White, and Chantilly Lace across cool or coastal-leaning palettes.
