Benjamin Moore

Ocean Floor

1630

Ocean Floor by Benjamin Moore is a deep steel gray carrying a distinct dark blue cast, with an LRV of 14.13 that confirms its low light reflectance. The cool blue undertone separates it from purely neutral grays and gives walls a layered, dimensional quality. Due to its depth, it functions well as an accent wall color in studies, living rooms, or bedrooms with sufficient natural or artificial light.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Silver Half Dollar and Nimbus Gray to extend its cool tonality, Simply White for sharp trim contrast, and Wrought Iron for a near-black complementary depth.

Ocean Floor 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.
