What color is Benjamin Moore Navajo White?
Benjamin Moore Navajo White OC-95 is a pale, creamy off-white with a clear warm beige-yellow cast. Its high lightness keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the soft warmth gives it more body than a crisp neutral. In north-facing rooms, Navajo White may appear a little more muted and beige; warmer daylight and evening lamps tend to bring out its buttery cream character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle backdrop is wanted, and it pairs well with natural oak, woven textures, warm stone, and earthy brown or muted green accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Navajo White undertones?
Navajo White OC-95 reads as a light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning warmth rather than a crisp, stark white. In the supplied digital sample, that yellow bias is subtle and low-confidence, so it is best viewed as a gentle warmth within an otherwise near-neutral color. Benjamin Moore describes it as “slightly warm and delicately shaded,” which aligns with its visible off-white character rather than suggesting a strong undertone. Warm artificial light may make its creamy warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to a neutral off-white.

LRV of Navajo White
Navajo White has an LRV of 78.26% 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 78.26%, 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.
