Both bold and nuanced, Hypnotic Sea is a medium, saturated cool blue with blue-gray undertones. With an LRV of 37, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Intense Teal is an extremely close match. Benjamin Moore's Largo runs close as well. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
