What color is Benjamin Moore Corinthian White?
Benjamin Moore Corinthian White OC-111 is a pale, creamy off-white with a clear buttery yellow cast rather than a stark neutral base. Its light value keeps it bright on walls, while the warm color gives rooms a softly sunlit appearance. In north-facing light, the yellow undertone may read more noticeable; in strong afternoon sun, it can appear lighter and closer to a gentle cream. Corinthian White suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and bedrooms where crisp white trim would feel too cool. Pair it with warm wood, natural linen, terracotta details, or muted olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Corinthian White
Corinthian White has an LRV of 79.45% 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 79.45%, 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.
