What color is Benjamin Moore Mayo Teal?
Benjamin Moore Mayo Teal CW-570 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a calm, weathered appearance rather than a bright tropical teal. Its mid-depth value lets it hold its own on cabinetry, built-ins, or an accent wall without making a room feel overly dark. In cooler daylight, Mayo Teal may read more blue, while warm bulbs can draw out its green side. Pair it with soft off-whites, putty-toned neutrals, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal details for a layered finish. It is especially well suited to bathrooms, mudrooms, dining room millwork, and shaded exterior doors.

LRV of Mayo Teal
Mayo Teal has an LRV of 23.22% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.22%, 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.
