What color is Benjamin Moore Cream Silk?
Benjamin Moore Cream Silk OC-115 is a very light cream with a noticeable soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading stark white. Its high lightness makes it well suited to walls and ceilings in rooms that need brightness without the coolness of a pure white. In daylight, Cream Silk can appear clean and gently buttery, while warmer evening lighting may bring out its golden-cream character. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, natural linen, and muted clay or olive accents for an understated layered palette. Because of its pale value, this shade is especially effective in kitchens, bedrooms, and north-facing spaces that benefit from a little visual warmth.

LRV of Cream Silk
Cream Silk has an LRV of 84.08% 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 84.08%, 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.
