Aegean Teal
Benjamin Moore
2136-40
Aegean Teal is a muted blue-green-gray that reads like weathered sea glass with more body, neither fully blue nor fully green. It works on bathroom vanities, kitchen islands, bedroom walls, and front doors where a saturated but soft-spoken color is wanted. It pairs naturally with creamy whites, warm wood, and rattan.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Aegean Teal?
The closest Sherwin-Williams match for Aegean Teal is Moody Blue SW 6221 (#7A9192). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Aegean Teal warm or cool?
Aegean Teal is cool, a balanced blue-green dulled by gray so it never reads tropical. With an LRV of approximately 23, it is a confident mid-dark that deepens meaningfully in low light. Daylight tips it greener; evening light tips it bluer and moodier. Its gray content makes it easier to pair than most teals; it sits comfortably with both warm whites and natural wood tones.
Why does Aegean Teal look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #6F898B as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Aegean Teal have?
Aegean Teal has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 23, meaning it reflects about 23% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
