What color is Benjamin Moore Ally's Earring?
Benjamin Moore Ally's Earring CSP-125 is a pale, softened off-white with a subtle yellow-beige cast that keeps it from reading stark. Its light value gives walls an airy look, while the slightly muted coloring adds more depth than a clean white. In warm afternoon light, Ally's Earring can appear creamier; under cooler daylight, it settles into a quiet, lightly grayed neutral. It suits bedrooms, hallways, and open living areas where a gentle backdrop is needed without a sharp contrast against white trim. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm gray upholstery, and matte black or aged-brass hardware for a grounded finish.

LRV of Ally's Earring

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 72.87%, 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.
