What color is Benjamin Moore Sea Salt?

Benjamin Moore Sea Salt CSP-95 is a light, muted neutral with a soft beige-gray cast and a gently warm appearance. Its low-saturation color keeps walls from reading stark, while the subtle gray content gives it a slightly weathered, mineral quality. In bright daylight, Sea Salt can look like a pale greige; under warmer evening lighting, its creamy beige side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and off-white trim. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents, deep olive textiles, or darker wood furniture.

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 61.09%, 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.
