Benjamin Moore

Sea of Green

657

Sea of Green is an intense blue-green with strong cool undertones and notable saturation that commands attention on any surface. Its LRV of 37.43 places it in the lower-medium reflectance range, meaning it will darken a room noticeably while delivering bold chromatic impact. The blue component is dominant enough that it reads closer to teal than leaf green.

It contrasts effectively with White Dove or Calm as lighter counterpoints, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide darker grounding tones. Guilford Green and Manchester Tan offer warm, muted companions to temper its intensity.
