What color is Benjamin Moore Tropical Teal?
Benjamin Moore Tropical Teal 734 is a clear, medium-depth teal with nearly equal blue and green presence, giving it a crisp, cool-leaning appearance. Its strong saturation makes it most effective as a focal color on cabinetry, a powder room wall, a front door, or built-in shelving. In bright daylight, Tropical Teal reads cleaner and more blue-green, while lower light can make it appear deeper and slightly more subdued. Pair it with warm white trim, pale sand tones, natural oak, or woven rattan to soften its intensity. For a sharper contrast, use matte black hardware or brass fixtures against this color.

LRV of Tropical Teal
Tropical Teal has an LRV of 21.36% 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 21.36%, 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.
