What color is Benjamin Moore French White?
Benjamin Moore French White 1093 is a light, muted cream with a soft beige cast and gentle warmth. Its pale yellow-beige undertone keeps it from reading stark white, giving walls a lightly sun-warmed appearance in daylight. In lower or cooler light, French White can appear more subdued and oatmeal-like, while warm bulbs bring out its creamy side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted trim where a clean white would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, or deeper olive and clay accents for contrast.
LRV of French White
French White has an LRV of 72.65% 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 72.65%, 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.
