What color is Benjamin Moore Ocean Air?
Benjamin Moore Ocean Air 2123-50 is a pale blue-gray with a soft, lightly muted cast that keeps it from reading overly icy. Its high lightness makes it especially useful for walls in smaller bedrooms, bathrooms, or hallways where a brighter, more open look is wanted. In daylight, the color can show its gentle blue-green influence, while warmer evening lighting may bring forward its gray side. Pair Ocean Air with crisp white trim for definition, or use it alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen for a clean, understated palette. It is best suited to broad wall surfaces, though it can also make a quiet statement on built-ins or a bathroom vanity.

What are Benjamin Moore Ocean Air undertones?
Ocean Air reads as a light, very muted blue-green with a soft, low-saturation appearance. In the supplied digital sample, it has a subtle teal direction with a slight green bias, though the low saturation makes that undertone gentle rather than pronounced. Benjamin Moore describes Ocean Air as a blue-green, which aligns with its visible main color family rather than identifying a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may make the color look less cool and more subdued, while cool daylight can make its blue-green cast easier to notice.

LRV of Ocean Air
Ocean Air has an LRV of 71.84% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.84%, 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.
