What color is Benjamin Moore Halifax Cream?
Benjamin Moore Halifax Cream 344 is a very light cream with a soft yellow cast, reading close to warm ivory rather than beige. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the creamy warmth prevents the room from feeling stark. In daylight, Halifax Cream can look clean and lightly sunlit; under warmer bulbs, its golden undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where white trim would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, warm white textiles, and muted green or blue-gray accents for contrast.
LRV of Halifax Cream
Halifax Cream has an LRV of 83.23% 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 83.23%, 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.
