Caribbean Cool vs Miami Teal paint color comparison

Caribbean Cool vs Miami Teal

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Caribbean Cool (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Miami Teal (LRV 44), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Caribbean Cool runs blue while Miami Teal is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
