What color is Benjamin Moore Lily White?

Benjamin Moore Lily White 2128-70 is a very light, cool-leaning blue-gray with a clean, airy cast. Its subtle blue undertone is more noticeable beside creamy whites or warm wood finishes, while daylight can make it appear especially crisp and pale. Lily White is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet workspaces where a near-white wall color is wanted without reading plain white. Pair it with soft charcoal, slate blue, brushed nickel, pale oak, or bright white trim for a restrained, lightly coastal palette. On large walls, its low saturation keeps the room feeling open while still adding a trace of color.

LRV of Lily White

Lily White has an LRV of 79.66% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 79.66%, 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.
