Benjamin Moore

Seacliff Heights

688

Seacliff Heights is a soft, muted blue carrying green and gray undertones, with an LRV of 57.63 that keeps it in the mid-light range. It reads as a dusty blue-green in most lighting conditions, with the green becoming more visible under warm light and the blue more prominent in cooler, north-facing exposures. The gray component prevents it from appearing overly saturated.

Horizon aligns well for a tonal pairing, while Hale Navy and Wrought Iron serve as darker accents. Simply White and Revere Pewter provide neutral contrast for trim and adjacent walls.
