What color is Benjamin Moore Sea Foam?
Benjamin Moore Sea Foam 2123-60 is a very light, softly muted green with a cool gray-blue cast that keeps it close to off-white. Its low saturation gives walls a clean, airy look without reading stark or icy. In daylight, Sea Foam can show a little more of its pale green character, while lower or warmer light may make it appear quieter and more silvery. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and small kitchens where a gentle wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Sea Foam undertones?
Sea Foam 2123-60 reads as a very light, low-saturation near-white with a subtle green cast in the supplied digital sample. Because that color direction is so slight, its undertone is best treated as a soft relative bias rather than a fixed fact. Benjamin Moore describes it as a blue-green with a cool quality, which aligns with the color’s pale green-leaning appearance while suggesting a cooler blue influence in the paint’s intended presentation. Warm artificial light may make it look a little less crisp and more neutral, while cool daylight can make its faint green-blue character easier to notice.

LRV of Sea Foam
Sea Foam has an LRV of 82.71% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.71%, 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.
