What color is Benjamin Moore Maritime White?
Benjamin Moore Maritime White OC-5 is a light, softly muted off-white with a noticeable warm beige cast. Its #E5DECE value gives it a creamy, lightly sanded appearance rather than a crisp or stark white. In bright daylight, Maritime White can read as a gentle pale neutral, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring forward its subtle tan warmth. It suits living room and bedroom walls where a softer backdrop is wanted, and it pairs naturally with oak, linen, woven textures, and warm white trim. For contrast, use it alongside charcoal, deep brown, or muted blue-gray accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Maritime White undertones?
Maritime White is a light, very muted off-white that reads mainly as soft beige rather than crisp white. In the supplied digital color, the subtle bias leans yellow, though it is close enough to neutral that the undertone can shift with surroundings and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as an off-white with muted beige tones, which fits its visibly warm-leaning, low-saturation character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its beige-yellow cast, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to a neutral off-white.

LRV of Maritime White
Maritime White has an LRV of 71.6% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.6%, 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.
