What color is Benjamin Moore Ecru?
Benjamin Moore Ecru 2014-70 is a very light, warm off-white with a noticeable peach-beige cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft blush of the color prevents it from reading like a stark white. In daylight, Ecru can appear creamy and lightly sun-warmed; under warm lamps, its peachy undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dining rooms, and living areas where a gentle alternative to plain white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm brass, terracotta accents, or deeper camel and muted clay tones.

What are Benjamin Moore Ecru undertones?
Ecru is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Ecru
Ecru has an LRV of 84.76% 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 84.76%, 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.
