What color is Benjamin Moore Cream?
Benjamin Moore Cream 2159-60 is a very light, warm off-white with a noticeable creamy yellow base and a soft hint of peachy beige. Its pale value keeps it bright on broad walls, while the warm cast prevents it from reading stark or icy. In sunlit rooms, Cream can look softly buttery; under warmer evening bulbs, its golden-beige character becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas where white trim would feel too sharp, and it can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair this shade with natural oak, woven fibers, warm brass, muted terracotta, or deeper olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Cream
Cream has an LRV of 81.46% 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 81.46%, 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.
