What color is Benjamin Moore Sailor's Sea Blue?
Benjamin Moore Sailor's Sea Blue 2063-40 is a clear mid-tone blue with a noticeable cyan cast, giving it a fresh, lightly aquatic appearance. Its cool character and moderate saturation keep it more lively than a muted slate or denim blue. On a wall, it can bring crisp color to a bathroom, sunroom, laundry room, or child’s bedroom without reading overly dark. Bright daylight will emphasize its clean blue-green edge, while lower light may make it appear a little deeper and more subdued. Pair Sailor's Sea Blue with clean white trim, pale gray, sandy beige, light oak, or brushed nickel for a practical, coastal-leaning palette. It also makes a strong accent on painted cabinetry, a front door, or built-in shelving.

LRV of Sailor's Sea Blue

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 28.62%, 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.
