Described as deeply soothing, Aegean Teal's nuanced blue-green conjures sun-baked patinas, relaxed elegance and uplifting warmth — something we all crave now.

"Amid uncertainty, people yearn for stability." says Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore Director of Colour Marketing & Development. "The colours we surround ourselves with can have a powerful impact on our emotions and wellbeing.  Aegean Teal 2136-40, and the corresponding Colour Trends 2021 palette, express a welcoming, lived-in quality that celebrates the connections and real moments that take place within the home."

The harmonious hue shares the colour-trend palette with 12 inspired shades, which range from warm whites and velvety browns to rich mauve.

Used to punctuate a front door or as one bold colour in a room of neutrals, Aegean Teal was crafted to curate easy comfort and inspire contemplation.
