What color is Benjamin Moore Ocean Tropic?

Benjamin Moore Ocean Tropic 2052-10 is a deep, blue-leaning green with a distinctly shadowed, saturated appearance. Its dark teal character reads richer on a full wall than a small swatch, especially in rooms with limited natural light. Use it for a dining room, study, powder room, or painted cabinetry where a strong, grounded color can carry the space. Warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen keep Ocean Tropic from feeling overly cool, while charcoal or black accents create a more dramatic look. In brighter daylight, this shade may show more of its green-teal cast; at night, it settles into a nearly blackened green.

LRV of Ocean Tropic

Ocean Tropic has an LRV of 7.52% 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 7.52%, 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.
