What color is Benjamin Moore Colonial Cream?
Benjamin Moore Colonial Cream OC-77 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft creamy cast and a hint of beige depth. Its pale #F7EBDA value keeps it bright enough for broad wall coverage while avoiding the starkness of a pure white. In daylight, Colonial Cream reads as a gentle, lightly warmed neutral; under warmer evening bulbs, its creamy character becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining spaces where white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, or woven textures are part of the scheme. Pair this shade with muted greens, dusty blue-gray accents, terracotta pottery, or deeper brown wood for contrast.

LRV of Colonial Cream
Colonial Cream has an LRV of 81.96% 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 81.96%, 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.
