What color is Benjamin Moore Brilliant White?
Benjamin Moore Brilliant White OC-150 is a very pale off-white with a subtle green-gray cast visible beneath its clean surface. Its high lightness keeps rooms bright without reading as stark, while the slight coolness can become more noticeable in clear north-facing daylight. Under warmer bulbs, Brilliant White tends to look softer and closer to a gentle neutral white. It suits broad wall areas, ceilings, and painted trim where a quiet contrast with deeper colors is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, muted sage, or charcoal details to echo its restrained cool undertone.

LRV of Brilliant White
Brilliant White has an LRV of 83.76% 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 83.76%, 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.
