What color is Benjamin Moore Cake Batter?

Benjamin Moore Cake Batter CSP-215 is a light, creamy beige with a soft yellowed cast that keeps it warmer than a plain off-white. Its muted, low-saturation appearance makes it especially useful for walls where a clean white would feel too stark. In bright daylight, Cake Batter can read as a gentle ivory-beige, while lower or warmer artificial light is likely to bring out its buttery depth. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm white trim, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, and can also give cabinetry a subtle warmth without making it look heavily colored.

What are Benjamin Moore Cake Batter undertones?

Cake Batter is a light, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Cake Batter

Cake Batter has an LRV of 73.71% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 73.71%, 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.
