What color is Benjamin Moore Elmira White?

Benjamin Moore Elmira White HC-84 is a light, muted off-white with a warm beige cast and a soft gray restraint. Its #DBD3C3 value keeps it from reading crisp or stark, giving walls a gently weathered, low-contrast appearance. In bright daylight, Elmira White can look like a pale putty neutral, while warmer evening light draws out its creamy tan notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet backdrop is wanted without the coolness of a true gray. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or deeper mushroom-brown tones.

What are Benjamin Moore Elmira White undertones?

Elmira White is a light, very muted sandy beige. 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.

#DBD3C3

LRV of Elmira White

Elmira White has an LRV of 64.67% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 64.67%, 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.
