What color is Benjamin Moore Ocean Floor?

Benjamin Moore Ocean Floor 1630 is a muted, medium-dark blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and restrained, reading closer to weathered slate than a clear navy. In bright natural light, Ocean Floor can show a softened gray surface, while evening light tends to bring out its deeper blue character. It gives bedrooms, studies, and dining rooms a composed backdrop, and it also has enough depth for built-in cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with crisp off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm tan leather to bring out its balanced gray-blue tone.

What are Benjamin Moore Ocean Floor undertones?

Ocean Floor reads as a deep, very muted blue-gray with low saturation and a restrained, smoky character. In the digital sample, blue is the main hue direction, with only a subtle, low-confidence greenish lean within that blue-gray range. Benjamin Moore describes it as a steel gray with a dark blue cast, which aligns with the visible gray overall color family while explaining why it can read cooler and bluer than a neutral charcoal. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly mute its blue-gray appearance, while cool daylight can make the blue cast more noticeable.

LRV of Ocean Floor

Ocean Floor has an LRV of 14.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.13%, 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.
