About Seaspray

Seaspray (CC-250) is a light beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 71, Seaspray reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Seaspray's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Elephant Tusk (OC-8); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Seaspray changes with the light

Seaspray has a gentle warm undertone that keeps it from going cold in north-facing rooms, and it looks a touch warmer again in afternoon west light.

N

North-facing rooms

Seaspray's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

E

East-facing rooms

Seaspray will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

Bright south light shows Seaspray close to its true color, slightly lighter and warmer.

W

West-facing rooms

Seaspray will glow warmer in the late afternoon.
