What color is Benjamin Moore Sea Glass?

Benjamin Moore Sea Glass CSP-735 is a muted mid-tone green-gray with a lightly cool cast and soft, low-saturation presence. Its subtle green undertone is noticeable without reading overtly botanical, while the gray base keeps it grounded and quiet. In bright natural light, Sea Glass can appear cleaner and slightly cooler; warmer artificial lighting may bring out its more softened, earthy side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces where a gentle colored neutral is wanted, and it can also make understated cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or off-white stone for a restrained, natural-looking palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Sea Glass undertones?

Sea Glass reads as a mid-light, very muted green-gray with a soft, low-saturation appearance. In the supplied digital sample, the visible bias leans subtly yellow-green, though the undertone is restrained enough to shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore lists it in its Neutral category but does not state a specific undertone on the provided official page. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly warmer, softer cast, while cool daylight can make its green-gray character more noticeable.

LRV of Sea Glass

Sea Glass has an LRV of 33.29% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 33.29%, 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.
