What color is Benjamin Moore Geddy White?
Benjamin Moore Geddy White CW-20 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a noticeable creamy yellow-beige cast. Its warmth keeps it from reading stark, while the low saturation gives it a gently weathered, almost chalky appearance. In bright daylight, Geddy White can look light and airy with a subtle ivory tint; under warm lamps, its beige undertone becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a crisp white would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, woven linens, and soft gray or olive accents for a grounded, collected look.

LRV of Geddy White
Geddy White has an LRV of 74.99% 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 74.99%, 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.
