What color is Benjamin Moore Sea Urchin?
Benjamin Moore Sea Urchin 1052 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm cast that reads like soft sand mixed with cream. Its low saturation keeps it from feeling yellow, while the subtle tan undertone gives it more presence than a plain off-white. In bright natural light, Sea Urchin can appear pale and airy; under warmer evening bulbs, it takes on a deeper biscuit-like tone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted without a stark white finish. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and muted olive or clay accents.

LRV of Sea Urchin
Sea Urchin has an LRV of 62.36% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 62.36%, 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.
