What color is Benjamin Moore Seaport Blue?
Benjamin Moore Seaport Blue 2060-30 is a clear, saturated blue with a noticeable teal-cyan cast rather than a violet or navy undertone. Its medium-deep value gives it enough presence for a full room, though it is especially effective on a powder room, built-in bookcase, or front door. In bright daylight, this color can read brisk and aquatic; under warmer evening lighting, it tends to look deeper and more blue-forward. Pair Seaport Blue with clean white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or brushed nickel for a crisp contrast. For a bolder scheme, use it alongside coral-toned accents or warm natural leather.

LRV of Seaport Blue
Seaport Blue has an LRV of 16.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.13%, 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.
