What color is Benjamin Moore Ivory Lustre?
Benjamin Moore Ivory Lustre 184 is a light, creamy off-white with a noticeable warm yellow-beige cast. Its pale value keeps it bright on walls, while the soft warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In daylight, it can look like a gentle ivory cream; under warmer bulbs, its buttery undertone becomes more apparent. This shade suits living rooms, bedrooms, and softly traditional kitchens, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and warm white trim. Pair Ivory Lustre with muted olive, clay, caramel, or deeper brown accents for contrast without introducing a cool edge.

LRV of Ivory Lustre
Ivory Lustre has an LRV of 76.71% 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 76.71%, 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.
