Benjamin Moore

Sea View

836

Sea View is a muted chambray blue with an LRV of 54.7, placing it in the mid-light range where it reflects a moderate amount of light while still reading clearly as blue. Gray undertones soften its saturation and give it a washed, fabric-like quality that holds up well in both warm and cool ambient light. Woodlawn Blue and Van Deusen Blue create a layered tonal progression when used together, while Chantilly Lace provides sharp trim contrast.

Revere Pewter complements it as a warm neutral, and Kendall Charcoal adds substantial weight as an accent.

Sea View 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.
