What color is Benjamin Moore Fine China?
Benjamin Moore Fine China 2156-70 is a very light creamy off-white with a noticeable soft yellow-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on walls, while the warm undertone prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Fine China can look close to a gentle ivory; under warm lamps, its buttery side becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a clean white would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Fine China
Fine China has an LRV of 85.35% 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 85.35%, 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.
