What color is Benjamin Moore Pacific Sea Teal?

Benjamin Moore Pacific Sea Teal 2049-10 is a deep blue-green with a smoky, charcoal-like cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or tropical. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective for cabinetry, a study, a dining room, or a front door where a darker color can add definition. In strong daylight, the blue-green character is more noticeable, while evening light can make this shade appear nearly blackened teal. Pair Pacific Sea Teal with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or clay-toned textiles to bring contrast to its cool, muted depth.

What are Benjamin Moore Pacific Sea Teal undertones?

Pacific Sea Teal is a very deep, muted teal that reads as nearly black in low light, with a clear blue-green character when it has enough illumination. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly green within the teal family while retaining a noticeable blue cast, so the undertone is best understood as a relative blue-green balance rather than a separate hidden color. Benjamin Moore describes it as an “almost-black shade of blue-green,” which aligns with its visibly dark teal main family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its green-leaning depth, while cool daylight can make its blue-teal side easier to see.

LRV of Pacific Sea Teal

Pacific Sea Teal has an LRV of 5.93% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 5.93%, 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.
