Benjamin Moore

Blue Seafoam

2056-60

Blue Seafoam is a light aqua with pronounced green undertones. An LRV of 69.48 keeps it bright and airy. It works in bathrooms, bedrooms, or coastal spaces where a clear aqua is needed.

White Dove and Simply White keep trim crisp, while Tranquil Blue and Spring Sky reinforce the cool range. Hale Navy or Black Pepper can add contrast.

Blue Seafoam in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
