Benjamin Moore

Arctic Seal

CSP-15

Arctic Seal is a deep neutral gray with cool undertones and an LRV of 16.32, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a dark, grounded tone on walls. The coolness in its base prevents it from shifting warm under incandescent bulbs, keeping the color steady across lighting conditions. White Dove provides high contrast when used on trim or ceilings.

Gray Owl works as a lighter transitional gray in adjoining spaces, while Hale Navy offers a tonal dark pairing. Dinner Party can serve as a rich accent, and Silver Half Dollar bridges the gap between Arctic Seal and lighter neutrals.
