What color is Benjamin Moore Deep Sea Green?

Benjamin Moore Deep Sea Green 735 is a dark, muted blue-green with a cool, lightly smoky cast. Its low brightness gives walls a grounded presence, while the green and teal notes keep it from reading as plain charcoal. In bright daylight, this color can show more of its blue-green character; in lower light, it deepens toward an inky teal. It is especially effective on cabinetry, built-ins, powder room walls, or a dining room accent wall. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or soft sand-colored textiles to bring definition and warmth around the shade.

LRV of Deep Sea Green

Deep Sea Green has an LRV of 8.9% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 8.9%, 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.
