What color is Benjamin Moore Teal?
Benjamin Moore Teal 2055-10 is a deep blue-green with a cool, shadowy cast and notable saturation. Its dark value gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, while the green undertone keeps it from reading as a straightforward navy. In bright daylight, Teal can show more of its blue-green character; in lower light, it settles into a near-inky teal. It suits a dining room, study, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a strong color is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and soft clay or sand textiles to bring contrast to its cool depth.

LRV of Teal
Teal has an LRV of 6.49% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.49%, 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.
