Benjamin Moore Beach Glass Review & Inspiration

Undertones in Benjamin Moore Beach Glass

Beach Glass is a blue-green paint color with a light reflectance value of 49.7, so it will bring more color depth to your room throughout the day compared to a lighter choice like Palladian Blue. Its aqua hue is softened by gray undertones, making it versatile enough for use with traditional, modern, and coastal interior home decor styles.

Beach Glass is remarkable for the way the aqua color stays true in different lighting situations. In bright, airy rooms, the blue undertone keeps the aqua shade looking cool to inspire a feeling of calm and tranquility. In rooms without a lot of natural light, the green undertone adds warmth that keeps Beach Glass from turning blue-gray.

Always reliably blue-green, Beach Glass brings out the warmth of light wood cabinetry and the richness of dark wood floors. It’s a rich medium aqua that provides a crisp contrast to white woodwork, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.

Blue paint colors are susceptible to shifts in an undertone that could make them appear cooler or warmer depending on the lighting conditions and time of day. We recommend testing a sample of Beach Glass and any other options you’re considering before deciding on your final choice.
