Blue Turquoise

5006-10C

Blue Turquoise is a deep green-blue with high saturation and a jewel-like feel. It needs purpose. Try it on a front door, powder room walls, or a cabinet piece rather than treating it as a neutral.

LRV 17 keeps the color grounded. Pair it with warm whites, aged brass, or pale stone. Under warm bulbs, the green side becomes more obvious.
