What color is Benjamin Moore Minced Onion?
Benjamin Moore Minced Onion OC-128 is a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-green cast visible beneath its pale surface. Its #F0F0DF color value gives it a creamy, lightly earthy appearance rather than a crisp, blue-based white. In bright daylight, Minced Onion can read as a gentle pale ivory, while warmer evening lighting may draw out its subtle buttery quality. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways where a quiet warm-neutral backdrop is wanted without the stronger yellow of a traditional cream. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, brushed brass, and softened green or clay-colored accents to echo its understated warmth.

LRV of Minced Onion
Minced Onion has an LRV of 83.9% 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 83.9%, 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.
