What color is Benjamin Moore Floral White?
Benjamin Moore Floral White OC-29 is a pale, softly warmed off-white with a gentle creamy-beige cast rather than a stark, bright-white look. Its low saturation keeps it light and quiet on broad walls, while the yellowed undertone can become more noticeable in sunny rooms or under warm bulbs. In cooler daylight, Floral White reads cleaner but still retains a slightly softened appearance. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pure white might feel too sharp, and it can also bring a cohesive finish to trim or cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, muted greens, or deeper brown accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Floral White undertones?
Floral White OC-29 reads as a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning cast in the supplied digital sample rather than a crisp, bright white. Its color bias is subtle, so it should generally look close to neutral while still carrying a little warmth. Benjamin Moore describes it as having soft green undertones; that manufacturer description may show up as a gentle cooling influence within its overall off-white appearance rather than making the color look distinctly green. Warm artificial light may bring forward its creamy-yellow side, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and may make any green influence easier to notice.

LRV of Floral White
Floral White has an LRV of 80.06% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 80.06%, 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.
