With its warm, earthy tones, Aegean Teal will bring comfort to your home. The rich shade has a certain amount of saturation that will satisfy color enthusiasts, while its earthy quality makes it eminently usable in any home environment.

While Aegean Teal might seem like a departure from First Light, Benjamin Moore’s 2020 Color of the Year, the brand’s color and design manager Hannah Yeo argues that it’s a continuation of an emerging trend.

Benjamin Moore started the selection process for this color in late 2019 and chose Aegean Teal in January—long before the COVID-19 pandemic was in full force and shelter-in-place orders were in effect. But despite the turn of events, Aegean Teal feels just as relevant today as it did earlier this year. After a year like this, the blue and green tones will bring an invigorating yet soothing spirit to our spaces.
