What color is Benjamin Moore Arctic Seal?
Benjamin Moore Arctic Seal CSP-15 is a deep, muted gray with an almost neutral cast and the faintest cool edge. Its medium-dark value gives walls noticeable definition without reading as black or charcoal. In bright daylight, Arctic Seal can appear soft and balanced; under lower or warmer artificial light, it may take on a slightly warmer, smokier look. Use it for a grounded dining room, a study, or kitchen cabinetry paired with pale wood, brushed nickel, crisp white trim, and off-white stone. This shade also makes a restrained exterior accent for doors or shutters when a dark neutral is wanted without a stark contrast.

LRV of Arctic Seal
Arctic Seal has an LRV of 16.32% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.32%, 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.
