What color is Benjamin Moore Bavarian Cream?
Benjamin Moore Bavarian Cream OC-123 is a very light cream with a soft yellow cast, shown here as the pale, nearly white #F7F7E7. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the subtle warmth prevents it from reading like a stark white. In bright daylight, Bavarian Cream can appear clean and lightly buttery; under warmer bulbs, its creamy undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and bedrooms where a gentle off-white is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, linen, woven textures, and warm brass. Pair this color with muted sage, clay-toned accents, or deeper charcoal details for contrast without making the room feel cold.

LRV of Bavarian Cream
Bavarian Cream has an LRV of 88.88% 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 88.88%, 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.
