What color is Benjamin Moore Adobe White?
Benjamin Moore Adobe White 2166-70 is a very light, warm off-white with a creamy ivory base and a faint peach-beige cast. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open, while the soft warmth prevents the color from reading stark or icy. In north-facing light, Adobe White may appear a little more subdued and beige; stronger afternoon sun can bring out its gentle apricot warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where white walls need a touch more color, and it can also soften painted trim or cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, terracotta accents, and muted olive or clay-toned textiles.

What are Benjamin Moore Adobe White undertones?
Adobe White is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Adobe White
Adobe White has an LRV of 83.82% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 83.82%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
