What color is Benjamin Moore Seaspray?
Benjamin Moore Seaspray 941 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable creamy yellow cast and a soft, slightly khaki undertone. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the low saturation gives walls a gently aged, plaster-like appearance rather than a crisp white finish. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Seaspray can look more buttery and golden; cooler light tends to pull out its quieter beige-gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, halls, and dining areas where a warm off-white is wanted without stark contrast. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and muted olive or clay accents.

LRV of Seaspray
Seaspray has an LRV of 68.08% 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 68.08%, 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.
