What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Teal?
Benjamin Moore Dark Teal 2053-20 is a deep blue-green with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps its color grounded rather than bright. Its cool character is clear, though the green influence prevents it from reading as a straightforward navy. On walls, Dark Teal brings substantial depth to a dining room, library, or powder room, especially when balanced with warm white trim. It also has enough weight for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with pale oak, aged brass, cream textiles, and soft clay or camel accents to bring out its blue-green complexity.

LRV of Dark Teal
Dark Teal has an LRV of 10.12% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
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 10.12%, 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.
