Amelia Island Blue
What Amelia Island Blue Actually Looks Like
Amelia Island Blue is a bold, saturated teal that sits squarely between blue and green. It reads as a true tropical color, bright and highly chromatic, not a muted or dusty version of teal. On a wall it commands attention immediately. This is not a color that whispers.
Amelia Island Blue Undertones
The color carries strong green pull alongside its blue base. In warm light it leans greener and can feel almost aqua. In cooler north light it reads as a deeper, more purely teal tone. There is very little gray or neutral in it, so it will not shift toward anything muddy.
Where Amelia Island Blue Works Best
This color works best as an accent rather than an all-room saturate. Think a powder room, a single accent wall, exterior shutters or a front door, or a piece of furniture you want to transform. It brings a lot of energy, so smaller or purposeful applications tend to land better than painting an entire main living space.
Where to put Amelia Island Blue
A small powder room is one of the strongest uses for this color. The high saturation reads as intentional and playful in a compact space, and guests only visit briefly, so the intensity stays exciting rather than exhausting.
On an exterior door or shutters, Amelia Island Blue makes a confident statement against white or gray siding. The color holds up well in direct sun and reads as welcoming rather than aggressive in that context.
In a bedroom or living room, a single wall in this color can anchor the space without overwhelming it. Keep the other walls neutral and let the teal wall do the work.
What to Pair With Amelia Island Blue
No coordinating colors are listed in our database for this color at this time. In general, Amelia Island Blue pairs well with crisp whites, warm natural wood tones, and sandy or coral accents that echo its coastal energy. Deep navy or charcoal works as a grounding partner if you want contrast without fighting the hue.

Purple tones can compete with the blue component of teal and create a muddled, unfocused palette. Neither color wins the room.
Common questions
The Benjamin Moore code is 2044-40. The LRV is 45.92, which puts it in the mid-range, meaning it reflects a moderate amount of light and is not a dark color, but it is certainly not light either. The hex and RGB values are available in the color spec block on this page.
For most rooms, yes. The saturation level is high, and living with that much chromatic intensity on all four walls can become tiring. Accent walls, small rooms, or exterior applications tend to be the sweet spots.
It works very well in bathrooms, particularly smaller ones. The teal reads as fresh and clean, which suits the context, and the bold color feels appropriate in a space meant for a quick visit rather than long hours.
Yes, it is available in both interior and exterior finishes through Benjamin Moore.
