What color is Benjamin Moore Ballet White?
Benjamin Moore Ballet White OC-9 is a light, softened off-white with a gentle warm beige cast. Its #E5E0D0 color value keeps it creamy rather than stark, with enough muted depth to avoid reading as bright white. In daylight, Ballet White can look pale and airy, while warmer evening lighting may draw out its subtle ivory-beige character. It suits whole-room walls, ceilings, and trim where a low-contrast, layered white scheme is preferred. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, and deeper mushroom or tan accents for a grounded interior palette.

LRV of Ballet White
Ballet White has an LRV of 71.97% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.97%, 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.
