What color is Benjamin Moore Devon Cream?

Benjamin Moore Devon Cream OC-102 is a pale cream with a clear warm cast, sitting between soft ivory and lightly peach-tinted beige. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the #F9EBD2 color value gives it more visible warmth than a plain white. Devon Cream can read sunnier in direct daylight and slightly richer under warm evening lamps. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle off-white is needed without a stark contrast against wood trim. Pair this shade with natural oak, linen upholstery, muted terracotta, or warm white accents for a layered, grounded look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 81.59%, 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.
