What color is Benjamin Moore Casco Bay?

Benjamin Moore Casco Bay 2051-30 is a deep, muted blue-green with a cool cast and enough grayness to keep it from feeling overly bright. Its near-teal character is most apparent in natural light, while evening light can make it read darker and more reserved. Use it on a dining room wall, built-in shelving, or lower kitchen cabinetry when the room needs a defined dose of color. Casco Bay pairs well with soft off-whites, pale oak, warm brass, and natural linen for contrast against its cool depth.

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).
