About Sea Foam
Sea Foam (2123-60) is a crisp, clean white from Benjamin Moore with almost no visible undertone. With an LRV of 85, Sea Foam reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
Because its undertone is so subtle, Sea Foam stays fairly consistent between north- and south-facing rooms. It's a good fit for whole-house walls, living rooms, bedrooms and trim with a deeper wall color. It's very close to Tulle Skirt (2135-70); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
