Benjamin Moore

Sea Urchin

1052 / CC-370

Sea Urchin is a shaded beige with an LRV of 62.36, reflecting enough light to feel open while retaining a warm, grounded quality. Its undertones lean toward yellow-tan rather than pink, which keeps it from reading as rosy in warm lighting. The color functions effectively as a full-room neutral that recedes behind furnishings and artwork.

Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter share similar warmth and work well in adjacent rooms, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer strong contrast. Quiet Moments introduces a cooler counterpoint within a coordinated scheme.

Sea Urchin 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.
