What color is Benjamin Moore Genesis White?
Benjamin Moore Genesis White 2134-70 is a pale, low-saturation off-white with a subtle cool gray cast. Its nearly even red, green, and blue values keep it looking clean and quiet rather than creamy or stark. In bright daylight, Genesis White can read as a soft silvery white, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its gentle grayness. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a light backdrop is wanted without the sharper look of pure white. Pair it with charcoal accents, brushed nickel, pale oak, or muted blue-gray textiles for a restrained, cohesive palette.

LRV of Genesis White
Genesis White has an LRV of 76.6% 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 76.6%, 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.
