What color is Benjamin Moore St. Lucia Teal?
Benjamin Moore St. Lucia Teal 683 is a softened blue-green with a lightly grayed cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its medium-light depth gives it enough presence for full walls while still feeling open in a bathroom, bedroom, or sunlit living area. The color leans cool overall, though its green component can become more noticeable beside warm white trim or natural oak. In warm artificial light, St. Lucia Teal may look a little more muted and green; cooler daylight tends to bring out its blue side. Pair it with clean off-whites, pale sand tones, brushed nickel, light wood, or charcoal accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of St. Lucia Teal
St. Lucia Teal has an LRV of 43.79% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.79%, 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.
