What color is Benjamin Moore Intense White?
Benjamin Moore Intense White OC-51 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft gray-beige cast rather than a crisp, bright-white look. Its low-saturation appearance gives walls a gentle shadowed quality, especially beside pure white trim. In warm daylight, this color can read slightly creamier, while cooler light brings out its quiet gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan spaces where a light neutral is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair Intense White with natural oak, weathered stone, charcoal accents, or clean white details for contrast.

LRV of Intense White
Intense White has an LRV of 73.36% 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 73.36%, 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.
