What color is Benjamin Moore Crème Caramel?
Benjamin Moore Crème Caramel OC-84 is a light, creamy beige with a clear warm cast drawn from its soft yellow and peach-leaning undertones. Its pale value keeps it from reading heavy, while the muted saturation gives walls a gently softened, low-contrast look. In bright daylight, Crème Caramel can appear closer to a warm ivory; under evening lamps, its caramel-like warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where stark white would feel too crisp. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or aged brass for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Crème Caramel
Crème Caramel has an LRV of 73.34% 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 73.34%, 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.
