What color is Benjamin Moore Hepplewhite Ivory?
Benjamin Moore Hepplewhite Ivory HC-36 is a light, creamy off-white with a clear warm yellow-beige cast. Its #F3E5C3 value gives it more color than a stark white, so walls read softly golden rather than crisp or icy. In bright daylight, it can appear like a pale buttercream, while evening lighting tends to bring out its richer ivory depth. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, halls, or dining spaces where a gentle warm backdrop suits natural wood floors and woven textures. Hepplewhite Ivory pairs especially well with soft whites, muted sage greens, warm taupes, and aged brass or bronze finishes.

LRV of Hepplewhite Ivory
Hepplewhite Ivory has an LRV of 75.34% 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 75.34%, 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.
