What color is Benjamin Moore Seacliff Heights?
Benjamin Moore Seacliff Heights 688 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly minty or coastal. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered appearance, especially alongside crisp white trim or pale oak flooring. In daylight, the blue-green character is more apparent, while lower or warmer artificial light can draw out its quiet grayness. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and airy living areas where a restrained wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair Seacliff Heights with warm whites, limestone, brushed nickel, natural linen, and medium-toned wood for a grounded finish.

LRV of Seacliff Heights
Seacliff Heights has an LRV of 57.63% 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 57.63%, 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.
