What color is Benjamin Moore Cascade White?
Benjamin Moore Cascade White 2127-70 is a very light, cool-leaning off-white with a faint blue-gray cast. Its low saturation keeps the color airy and quiet rather than noticeably icy, especially across broad wall surfaces. In north-facing rooms or cool daylight, the blue-gray undertone may appear clearer; warmer bulbs can soften it toward a pale silvery white. Cascade White suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and light-filled living areas where a crisp but not stark backdrop is wanted. Pair it with soft charcoal, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or muted navy for a coordinated, understated palette.

LRV of Cascade White
Cascade White 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 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.
