What color is Benjamin Moore Lightning White?
Benjamin Moore Lightning White 2019-70 is an exceptionally pale off-white with a noticeable creamy yellow undertone. Its high lightness keeps it close to white, but the soft warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In north-facing rooms, Lightning White may appear like a gentle buttery ivory, while direct daylight can make it look cleaner and brighter. It suits walls and ceilings in kitchens, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms where a lightly sun-washed backdrop is wanted. Pair it with warm oak, natural linen, terracotta, or muted olive accents rather than blue-leaning whites or cool gray finishes.

LRV of Lightning White
Lightning White has an LRV of 86.52% 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 86.52%, 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.
