What color is Benjamin Moore Galápagos Turquoise?
Benjamin Moore Galápagos Turquoise 2057-20 is a deep blue-green with a noticeably cool cast and a muted, mineral-like depth. Its teal character is present without reading bright, making it especially effective for a study, powder room, dining room, or moody bedroom wall. In strong daylight, the blue side becomes clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its green undertone and make the shade feel darker. Use it on cabinetry or an accent wall with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and aged brass for contrast. For a more tonal look, pair Galápagos Turquoise with soft gray-blues, charcoal, or deep navy.

LRV of Galápagos Turquoise
Galápagos Turquoise has an LRV of 9.45% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.45%, 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.
