What color is Benjamin Moore Decorator's White?
Benjamin Moore Decorator's White OC-149 is a very light off-white with a faint cool cast visible in its soft green-gray lean. Its high brightness keeps walls looking clean without reading as stark, especially alongside pure white trim or crisp black details. In bright daylight, this shade can appear almost white, while lower or cooler light may bring out its subtle muted undertone. It suits modern kitchens, gallery-like living rooms, and quiet bedroom walls, and it pairs well with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal, and natural stone. Use Decorator's White on broad wall surfaces or cabinetry when a restrained near-white is needed.

What are Benjamin Moore Decorator's White undertones?
Decorator’s White is a very light, low-saturation near-white with an overall neutral character in the supplied digital sample. The sample’s color direction is too slight to support a confident independent undertone call, though it reads clean rather than creamy. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “a touch of cool gray,” which fits its visibly neutral white family by giving it a slightly cooler, grayer cast rather than shifting it strongly into another color family. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little softer, while cool daylight can emphasize its cleaner, cooler-looking neutrality.

LRV of Decorator's White
Decorator's White has an LRV of 82.68% 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 82.68%, 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.
