What color is Benjamin Moore Montgomery White?
Benjamin Moore Montgomery White OC-148 is a light, creamy off-white with a clear warm cast drawn from its soft yellow-beige base. Its pale value keeps it bright on walls, while the #F4E2C0 color gives it more presence than a stark white. In north-facing rooms it may read as a gentle biscuit cream, while warmer daylight and evening lamps bring forward its buttery glow. Use it in kitchens, dining rooms, or bedrooms with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and warm stone. For contrast, pair Montgomery White with muted olive, clay brown, deep charcoal, or a grounded blue-gray.

LRV of Montgomery White
Montgomery White has an LRV of 73.92% 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 73.92%, 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.
