What color is Benjamin Moore Capitol White?
Benjamin Moore Capitol White CW-10 is a very light off-white with a soft creamy cast and a subtle yellow-beige undertone. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open, while the warm tint prevents the color from reading as stark or blue-based. In bright daylight, Capitol White can appear nearly white; under warm lamps, its gentle ivory character becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a clean but slightly softened white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm gray stone, or muted olive and clay accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Capitol White
Capitol White has an LRV of 86.93% 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 86.93%, 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.
