What color is Benjamin Moore Harwood Putty?
Benjamin Moore Harwood Putty CW-5 is a very light off-white with a faint green-gray cast visible beneath its soft, chalky surface. Its high brightness keeps rooms looking open, while the subtle coolness prevents it from reading as creamy or yellow. In daylight, Harwood Putty can appear clean and lightly mineral; warmer evening bulbs may bring out a gentler, slightly softened character. Use it on walls, ceilings, or painted trim where a quiet near-white is wanted without stark contrast. It pairs naturally with pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, and muted sage accents.

LRV of Harwood Putty
Harwood Putty has an LRV of 83.19% 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 83.19%, 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.
