Benjamin Moore

Seashell

926 / OC-120

Seashell is a luminous off-white that carries faint silver-green undertones, giving it a cooler reading than standard cream or ivory whites. With an LRV of 79.82 it reflects a high amount of light and reads as open and airy on walls and ceilings. The green cast is subtle enough to remain neutral in most lighting but may become more visible under cool fluorescent sources.

Benjamin Moore Windy Sky and Soft Mint echo its green lean. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal add strong contrast, while Pale Oak and Balboa Mist keep the palette within a quiet neutral range.
