What color is Benjamin Moore Largo Teal?
Benjamin Moore Largo Teal 742 is a deep blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and softened, slightly muted saturation. Its balance of teal and blue keeps it from reading overly green, while the dark value gives it a grounded presence on walls or cabinetry. In bright daylight, Largo Teal can show its clearer turquoise-blue side; under warm evening lighting, it often appears deeper and more subdued. It is especially effective in powder rooms, dining rooms, built-in bookcases, or a front door where the color can hold its own. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or clay-toned textiles to bring contrast to its cool depth.
LRV of Largo Teal
Largo Teal has an LRV of 16.7% 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 16.7%, 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.
