Albert Blog: Color Spotlight: Benjamin Moore Aegean Teal

Hi Remodelaholics! Cyndy from The Creativity Exchange back with my monthly paint color post. If you happened to miss my post from last month, I shared a few of my favorite exterior paint colors for instantly improving curb appeal here.

Today, I’m doing another Color Spotlight and featuring a gorgeous rich teal color called “Aegean Teal” from Benjamin Moore. I have loved this color for years and am so excited to highlight it today!

Aegean Teal, Benjamin Moore

Aegean Teal is probably one of the best rich teal paint colors out there because it has such a perfect balance of warm and cool tones. I believe transitional colors that have that almost 50/50 balance is where the color magic happens on a wall.

One of my favorite ways to recommend using Aegean Teal is for an accent wall. Aegean is so rich in depth and a complex color that it adds so much character and richness to a wall.

I really think Aegean Teal looks its best on one wall (as an accent color) because it’s not necessarily the most ideal whole room color because it is such a rich color. It’s also just a little darker than a mid-tone. However, if the color is balanced well with plenty of white/cream in the space with trim, cabinetry and wainscoting (as you can see below), it can really work beautifully.

Because Aegean has that near perfect balanced warm/cool undertone, the color also works beautifully with everything from warmer wood tones in flooring/ trim, but at the same time, Aegean will also work with cooler floor tiles. So versatile!

Below is Aegean with very warm wood floors and warm accessories. See how the color just calms and balances all the warmth in the space?

There are very few bolder colors like Aegean Teal that can also work well and compliment almost any other color. Darker transitional colors are great to use when you have a lot of warmth or coolness in a space because they have a calming/neutralizing effect.

Below is a great example below of how a darker transitional color like Aegean Teal neutralizes all of the colors and undertones:

Aegean is such a workhorse of a color because it looks stunning on almost anything. How beautiful is Aegean used in the inside backside of cabinetry as a focal wall?

Aegean Teal is also another fantastic exterior color and I have recommended it for shutters and the front door. I don’t have any images but if you’re looking for a gorgeous front door color, try a sample of Aegean Teal. It’s really beautiful! I mention this a lot but it’s so true; a good sign of a great color is that it looks beautiful painted on the inside and on the outside.

There are very few colors out there that are this rich in depth but are also still so very versatile. Aegean Teal is one of those very special colors and there is pretty much not anything that this color cannot do and look absolutely amazing.

I hope you will consider Aegean Teal from Benjamin Moore if you’re looking for a rich shade of teal for one of your spaces.
