What color is Benjamin Moore Linen White?
Benjamin Moore Linen White OC-146 is a very light off-white with a noticeable creamy beige cast rather than a crisp, bright-white look. Its #F2EBDA value gives it gentle yellow warmth and low saturation, so it reads soft and slightly mellow on broad wall surfaces. In rooms with abundant daylight, Linen White can appear pale and airy, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its creamier side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and ceilings where a softened white is preferable to a stark contrast. Pair it with natural oak, warm stone, aged brass, tan leather, or muted earthy colors for a cohesive finish.

LRV of Linen White
Linen White has an LRV of 80.94% 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 80.94%, 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.
