Benjamin Moore

Seagrove

653

Seagrove is a soft pastel green carrying a distinct blue undertone, registering an LRV of 73.28 that allows it to reflect a considerable amount of ambient light. The hue reads as cool and clean, leaning toward aqua in certain lighting conditions. It works well on walls alongside Benjamin Moore Summer Shower, Ocean Air, or White Dove, where its blue-green cast is reinforced or softened as needed.

Pairing with Hale Navy provides tonal depth, while Nimbus keeps adjacent surfaces neutral without competing with the green character.

Seagrove 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.
