What color is Behr Seaglass?
Behr Seaglass HDC-CT-26A is a light, muted green with a soft blue cast, giving it the look of pale seafoam rather than a pure mint. Its high value and low saturation keep the color airy on broad walls, while the green-blue undertone becomes a little clearer in bright natural light. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or laundry rooms with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel or matte black hardware. For more contrast, pair Seaglass with deep charcoal, inky navy, or a grounded olive green.

What are Behr Seaglass undertones?
Seaglass is a light, very muted green-tinted off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Seaglass
Seaglass has an LRV of 73.31% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 73.31%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
