In real rooms
Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersSeabrook is the lighter of the two at LRV 68.46, 27.4 points above Little Falls at LRV 41.07. Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family. For a whole room, Seabrook is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Little Falls is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsLittle Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.
Seabrook is a light, clear aqua-blue — Benjamin Moore says it 'immediately conjures the sea', and that is fair. There is enough green in it to keep it from turning baby-blue, and at an LRV near 68 it bounces plenty of light while still reading unmistakably as colour.
