Bermuda Turquoise
What Bermuda Turquoise Actually Looks Like
Bermuda Turquoise 728 is a deep, saturated teal that sits squarely between blue and green. It is not a pale coastal aqua and not a true navy. Think of the color of deep tropical water seen from above, rich and complex rather than bright. Because the LRV is quite low, this color reads as genuinely dark on the wall, especially in rooms that do not get strong direct light. In a sunny south-facing room it opens up and shows its blue-green warmth. In a dim or north-facing space it can feel nearly as deep as a dark slate.
Bermuda Turquoise Undertones
The color carries both blue and green in roughly equal measure, which is what gives it that classic teal quality. In warmer incandescent or amber light, the green side becomes slightly more prominent. Under cool daylight or LED light, the blue pushes forward. There is no significant gray or brown pulling at it, so it stays clean and reads as a true teal rather than a muted or dusty version of one.
Where Bermuda Turquoise Works Best
Because this is a dark, high-saturation color, placement matters. It works well as a full-room commitment in spaces where you want real drama, a dining room, a home office, or a primary bedroom. It also works as a single accent wall where you want the teal to anchor a room without overwhelming it. Cabinetry and built-ins are a strong use case since the depth of the color reads beautifully on flat painted surfaces with a satin or semi-gloss finish. Exterior trim or a front door are other solid applications given the color's availability in both interior and exterior formulas.
Where to put Bermuda Turquoise
A full four-wall application in a dining room is where this color earns its keep. Candlelight and warm Edison-style bulbs pull out the green warmth and give the space real atmosphere. Keep the trim in a warm crisp white to prevent the room from feeling closed in.
The depth of this teal is focused rather than draining, which makes a home office a natural fit. Pair it with light wood shelving and warm-toned task lighting so the room stays lively during long working hours.
On all four walls the color creates a cocoon-like quality that many people find genuinely restful. Use warm white or linen-toned bedding and natural wood furniture to keep the palette grounded rather than cold.
Kitchen or bathroom cabinetry painted in Bermuda Turquoise 728 in a semi-gloss finish becomes an immediate focal point. It pairs well with marble, white quartz, or light gray countertops, and aged brass hardware ties the warm and cool elements together.
As an exterior door color it reads as a confident, slightly unexpected choice that is distinctive without being jarring. It works especially well on homes with white or light gray siding and natural stone or brick accents.
What to Pair With Bermuda Turquoise
No specific coordinating colors are listed in our database for this color. That said, Bermuda Turquoise 728 pairs naturally with warm off-whites and creamy whites to keep contrast from feeling harsh, with warm wood tones, with aged brass or unlacquered brass hardware, and with deep charcoal or near-black accents that echo the color's own darkness without competing with its saturation.

Colors that clash with Bermuda Turquoise
Bermuda Turquoise 728 can look unsettled when placed adjacent to cool blue-grays. The two colors compete in the same cool register without enough contrast to resolve cleanly.
Strong orange tones sit directly opposite teal on the color wheel. In small doses that contrast is energetic, but heavy use of terracotta tile, orange wood stains, or rust-heavy textiles can make the pairing feel jarring.
In a north-facing room with cool-toned fluorescent or daylight-spectrum LEDs, the color can feel cold and very dark, losing the warmth that makes it appealing.
Common questions
The LRV is 10.37, which places it firmly in the dark category. That does not automatically rule out small rooms, but it does mean you should rely on good lighting and keep larger surfaces like ceilings and trim light. A small room with high ceilings, ample natural light, and white trim can handle this color well. A low-ceilinged basement room with one small window is a harder case.
Yes, it is available in both interior and exterior formulas, which makes it a viable choice for front doors, shutters, or exterior trim.
For walls, eggshell gives you just enough sheen to make the color vibrant without highlighting surface imperfections. For cabinetry or trim, satin or semi-gloss lets the depth of the color come through fully and makes the surface easier to clean.
Both are deep saturated teals with low light reflectance and similar blue-green balance. Oceanside is the most commonly cited equivalent. There are subtle differences in how the green or blue reads under different light sources, so if the final decision matters, sample both on your actual wall before committing.
