What color is Benjamin Moore North Sea Green?
Benjamin Moore North Sea Green 2053-30 is a deep blue-green with a clear teal character and enough grayness to keep its color grounded. It reads cool and moderately saturated, showing more blue in low or north-facing light and a greener cast when daylight is warmer. This shade has the depth to hold its own on dining room walls, built-in bookcases, or a painted bathroom vanity. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and sandy beige textiles for contrast that does not compete with the color. On an exterior door or shutters, North Sea Green can provide a rich accent against soft white, stone, or muted gray siding.

LRV of North Sea Green
North Sea Green has an LRV of 14.81% 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 14.81%, 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.
