What color is Benjamin Moore Seapearl?
Benjamin Moore Seapearl OC-19 is a pale, lightly warm off-white with a soft gray-beige cast rather than a crisp, bright-white look. Its low saturation gives walls a gentle, muted backdrop that still feels clean in daylight. In sunny rooms, Seapearl can read creamier and more luminous, while lower or cooler light brings forward its subtle gray undertone. Use it across living room, bedroom, or hallway walls when you want contrast with white trim without creating a sharp divide. Natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, and charcoal accents give this shade pleasing texture and definition.

What are Benjamin Moore Seapearl undertones?
Seapearl is a light, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Seapearl
Seapearl has an LRV of 76.43% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 76.43%, 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.
