What color is Benjamin Moore Ludwell White?
Benjamin Moore Ludwell White CW-275 is a pale, creamy off-white with a clear yellow-beige cast rather than a stark white base. Its light value keeps walls bright, while the warm tint gives the color a softly sunlit appearance in daylight. In north-facing rooms, Ludwell White may read more subdued and biscuit-like; warmer afternoon light can bring out its gentle buttery quality. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a crisp white would feel too cool, and it can also soften painted trim or cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, woven textures, and muted greens or dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Ludwell White
Ludwell White has an LRV of 80.09% 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 80.09%, 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.
