What color is Benjamin Moore Antique White?
Benjamin Moore Antique White OC-83 is a light, creamy off-white with a noticeable warm beige cast and a soft hint of peach in its base. Its pale value keeps rooms bright without reading as stark white, while the muted warmth gives it more presence than a clean, cool neutral. In daylight, Antique White can look gently sunlit and creamy; under warm bulbs, its beige-peach undertone becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, halls, and dining spaces where a softened white is wanted on the walls. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, warm gray stone, or deeper brown accents for a grounded palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Antique White undertones?
Antique White OC-83 reads as a light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning warmth and very low saturation. The supplied digital color has a subtle warm bias rather than a strong beige or cream look. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “a dose of peach,” which fits the visible warm off-white family by suggesting a gentle pink-orange influence within the overall pale yellow warmth. Warm artificial light may make that warmth and possible peach cast easier to notice, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Antique White
Antique White has an LRV of 77.8% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.8%, 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.
