What color is Benjamin Moore Caribbean Teal?

Benjamin Moore Caribbean Teal 2123-20 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a medium-dark, grounded appearance. Its cool lean keeps it crisp rather than earthy, while the softened saturation prevents it from feeling overly bright or tropical. In strong daylight, Caribbean Teal can show its blue-green character more clearly; in lower light, it settles into a deeper, smokier teal. It makes a compelling choice for a study, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and creamy stone. For contrast, pair this color with soft sand tones or a warm off-white rather than a stark, icy white.

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 19.84%, 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.
