What color is Benjamin Moore Cameo White?
Benjamin Moore Cameo White OC-147 is a pale, warm off-white with a noticeable creamy beige cast. Its soft yellow-beige undertone keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a gentle warmth in daylight and a richer cream appearance under warmer evening bulbs. This shade is light enough for full-room walls, ceilings, or trim when a bright white would feel too sharp. Pair Cameo White with natural oak, woven fibers, tan leather, and muted clay or olive accents for an understated, grounded palette. It can also soften the look of kitchens and bathrooms alongside warm marble, brushed brass, or cream-toned tile.

LRV of Cameo White
Cameo White has an LRV of 77.86% 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 77.86%, 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.
