What color is Benjamin Moore Crème Fraiche?
Benjamin Moore Crème Fraiche 2023-70 is an extremely light cream with a noticeable soft-yellow cast, reflected in its pale, buttery appearance. It reads warm without becoming deep or golden, making it a gentle alternative to stark white on large wall areas. In bright daylight, Crème Fraiche can look nearly white with a faint creamy glow, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out more of its yellow undertone. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and hallways where a light-colored backdrop is wanted without a cool gray edge. Pair it with natural oak, light maple, woven fibers, muted green accents, or clean white trim for contrast.

LRV of Crème Fraiche
Crème Fraiche has an LRV of 87.75% 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 87.75%, 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.
