More about Sea Serpent
Sea Serpent is a deep, complex teal that lives between blue and green — at LRV 7 it's rich and saturated, the kind of jewel tone that turns a powder room, a built-in, or an accent wall into a focal point. It reads more blue in some light, more green in others.
As a deep, saturated color it amplifies lighting and needs some daylight to show its depth rather than going near-black. It looks striking with brass, warm wood, and creamy whites. Behr Orion Gray and Benjamin Moore Blue Note are its closest cross-brand matches.
