Un-Teal We Meet Again
What Un-Teal We Meet Again Actually Looks Like
Un-Teal We Meet Again sits squarely in the blue-green family, leaning blue when you see it on its own but shifting noticeably greener the moment you place a true blue beside it. The gray undertone keeps it from reading neon or tropical. It has real depth and commitment. This is not a pastel or a whisper of color. It carries the room.
Un-Teal We Meet Again Undertones
The gray undertone is the key to this color. It softens what could otherwise be a jarring teal and gives it a slightly muted, almost weathered quality. In low or north-facing light, that gray can become more pronounced and the color reads cooler and more serious. Under direct sunlight or strong south-facing exposure, the saturation tends to wash out and the color loses some of its presence. Artificial warm lighting pulls the blue forward and quiets the green.
Where Un-Teal We Meet Again Works Best
This is a color that works best where you want genuine visual weight. Kitchen cabinets are a strong use case because the color owns the space without feeling heavy. Front doors are a natural fit, both inside and out, since the depth reads well at a smaller scale with strong natural light around it. Accent walls and furniture pieces also make sense. Large open rooms with abundant direct sun may dilute it more than you expect, so consider that exposure before committing to four walls.
Where to put Un-Teal We Meet Again
On cabinets this color earns its place. It is slightly darker than the average cabinet choice, so it gives the kitchen a grounded, intentional look rather than a breezy accent. Pair the uppers with a warm creamy white to keep the space from feeling closed in.
One of the best uses for this color. The blue-green reads as welcoming and distinctive without veering into novelty. On an exterior door the gray undertone helps it hold up against changing daylight rather than shifting unpredictably.
A dining room with moderate natural light is a good setting. The color creates atmosphere without demanding the room revolve around it. Keep trim in a warm off-white and bring in natural wood tones to avoid a cold feel.
In a north-facing home office the gray undertone will advance and the room will read cooler, which suits focused work for some people and feels stark for others. A south or east exposure gives you the more balanced blue-green character.
What to Pair With Un-Teal We Meet Again
Un-Teal We Meet Again responds well to warm off-whites and creamy neutrals, which counterbalance the cool gray undertone. Light muted greens that share a similar gray quality read as natural companions rather than competitors.

Colors that clash with Un-Teal We Meet Again
A stark cool white next to this color amplifies the blue and strips away the warmth that makes the gray undertone livable. The pairing can feel clinical.
Strong direct sunlight washes this color out and you lose the depth that makes it interesting. On four walls in a sun-drenched room it can look faded by midday.
Heavily orange-toned floors or furniture create a near-complementary tension with the blue-green that can feel unintentional rather than dynamic.
Common questions
The Benjamin Moore color code is 739, the hex is #7BC7CB, and the LRV is 50.28, which puts it solidly in the light-medium range, darker than most airy spa blues but nowhere near a deep saturated tone.
Yes. It is available in Benjamin Moore exterior formulas and front door use is one of its most popular applications. The depth holds reasonably well in open shade. In full direct sun expect some washout, which is typical for colors at this saturation and lightness level.
In isolation it reads blue-dominant. Place a true blue beside it and the green character advances noticeably. The final read depends heavily on what surrounds it and the quality of light in the room.
For walls, eggshell gives you a slight sheen that helps the color read true without highlighting imperfections. Cabinets and doors benefit from a satin or semi-gloss, both for durability and because the added reflectivity brings out the blue-green depth rather than flattening it.
