What color is Benjamin Moore Cream Puff?
Benjamin Moore Cream Puff 2174-70 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft blush-peach cast visible beneath its creamy surface. Its high lightness keeps rooms bright without reading as stark white, while the pinkish warmth gives it a gentle, skin-tone quality. In daylight, Cream Puff can appear nearly ivory with a faint rosy tint; warmer evening lighting tends to bring out its peachier side. It suits bedroom walls, powder rooms, and ceilings where a plain white might feel too crisp. Pair it with pale oak, warm brass, terracotta accents, or muted green-gray textiles for contrast that keeps the color’s warmth in view.

What are Benjamin Moore Cream Puff undertones?
Cream Puff is a near-white, very muted pink with a light value and only a subtle warm color presence. In the supplied digital sample, its slight red-and-yellow bias reads as a soft blush or creamy pink rather than a distinctly peach or beige color, though that bias is faint. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a light-as-air pink with a soft, chalky quality,” which aligns with its visibly pale pink main family. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle blush warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to an off-white.

LRV of Cream Puff
Cream Puff has an LRV of 82.08% 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 82.08%, 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.
