Seapearl

961 / OC-19, PM-20, OC-141

Seapearl is an off-white with cool gray undertones that distinguish it from warmer cream-based whites. At an LRV of 76.43 it reflects substantial light while retaining enough depth to avoid looking flat or clinical on large wall surfaces. Under warm artificial light it may shift slightly toward greige, and under cool daylight the gray character becomes more apparent.

Benjamin Moore Silver Gray and Gray Owl complement its cool base, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply contrast. Palladian Blue introduces a subtle color shift that stays within the same cool temperature range.

Seapearl 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.
