What color is Benjamin Moore Thousand Oceans?

Benjamin Moore Thousand Oceans 1645 is a muted blue-gray with a medium-dark depth and a noticeable slate cast. Its cool blue character is softened by gray, keeping it from feeling overly bright or nautical. In daylight, this color can show a restrained blue tone, while lower or warmer light may bring out its darker, smokier gray side. It suits a study, bedroom, or dining room wall where a grounded color is wanted, and it can also give cabinetry a substantial painted finish. Pair Thousand Oceans with soft off-whites, pale gray-beige textiles, warm oak, black metal, or brushed nickel for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 17.57%, 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.
