What color is Benjamin Moore Baltic Sea?
Benjamin Moore Baltic Sea CSP-680 is a muted blue-green with a cool, lightly grayed cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel overly dark, especially when paired with clean white trim. Baltic Sea can read a little bluer in cooler daylight and slightly softer, greener under warm interior lighting. It suits bathrooms, home offices, and built-in cabinetry, where its restrained teal character adds definition. Try it with pale oak, weathered brass, warm off-whites, or charcoal accents for a layered, material-focused scheme.
LRV of Baltic Sea
Baltic Sea has an LRV of 22.2% and refers to Medium 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 22.2%, 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.
