What color is Benjamin Moore Refreshing Teal?
Benjamin Moore Refreshing Teal 2039-70 is a very light blue-green with a clean, minty cast rather than the depth usually associated with teal. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the subtle aqua note gives white rooms a little more color definition. In daylight, Refreshing Teal can read crisp and cool; warmer evening bulbs may bring out its softer green side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, especially alongside bright white trim, pale natural wood, or soft gray accents. For a quieter palette, pair this shade with creamy off-whites and muted sandy neutrals rather than heavily saturated colors.

LRV of Refreshing Teal
Refreshing Teal has an LRV of 83.59% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 83.59%, 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.
