What color is Benjamin Moore Creamy White?
Benjamin Moore Creamy White OC-7 is a light, softened off-white with a warm beige cast rather than a crisp, snowy appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on large wall surfaces, while the #E3DCC8 value gives it enough depth to read clearly against pure white trim. In daylight, it can show a gentle creamy warmth; under warmer bulbs, that beige-yellow influence may become more noticeable. Creamy White suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale backdrop is wanted without a stark contrast. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven textures, and deeper brown or muted olive accents for a grounded palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Creamy White undertones?
Creamy White OC-7 reads as a light, softly muted off-white with a gentle yellow-beige cast rather than a crisp, bright white. The supplied digital sample shows only a subtle warm bias, so its undertone is best viewed as a slight yellow direction within an otherwise restrained cream. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “warm, gentle bisque hue,” which aligns with the color’s visible creamy main family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its creaminess, while cooler daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to a pale neutral off-white.

LRV of Creamy White
Creamy White has an LRV of 70.95% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 70.95%, 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.
