What color is Benjamin Moore Sea Wind?
Benjamin Moore Sea Wind OC-139 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft beige-yellow cast. Its high lightness gives walls an airy appearance, while the low saturation keeps it from looking overtly creamy. In bright daylight, Sea Wind can read as a lightly warmed neutral; under softer interior lighting, its gentle ivory undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a white that feels less stark is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm stone, and deeper taupe or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Sea Wind
Sea Wind has an LRV of 71.46% 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 71.46%, 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.
