What color is Benjamin Moore Calcite?
Benjamin Moore Calcite CW-110 is a very light cream with a noticeable warm yellow cast, similar to sunlit ivory. Its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the soft golden undertone gives plain white trim a gentler contrast. In bright daylight, Calcite can read as a clean pale cream; under warm evening bulbs, its buttery character becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and north-facing spaces that need added warmth, especially alongside natural oak, woven textures, and muted clay or olive accents. Use it on walls or cabinetry where a crisp white would feel too stark.

LRV of Calcite
Calcite has an LRV of 81.93% 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 81.93%, 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.
