What color is Benjamin Moore Barely Teal?

Benjamin Moore Barely Teal 2048-70 is an extremely light blue-green with a clean, airy cast and just enough color to read beyond white. Its high value keeps it soft on broad walls, while the cool teal tint becomes more noticeable beside warm whites or natural wood. In daylight, Barely Teal can look nearly icy and pale; under warmer evening bulbs, it tends to take on a gentler, slightly greener appearance. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunlit bedrooms, and ceilings where a faint wash of color is wanted without making the room feel darker. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, soft gray textiles, or muted coral accents for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 81.12%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
