What color is Benjamin Moore Olivetint?
Benjamin Moore Olivetint 519 is a very light, low-saturation off-white with a soft creamy yellow cast and a gently muted appearance. Its pale value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the reduced blue in the color gives it a subtle warmth. In direct daylight, Olivetint can look like a clean, lightly sun-washed ivory; in shaded or cooler rooms, its muted quality becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a quiet alternative to pure white is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, woven linen, pale stone, and warm brass. Pair it with soft warm whites for trim or deeper olive, clay, and charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Olivetint undertones?
Olivetint is a near-white, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Olivetint
Olivetint has an LRV of 78.72% 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 78.72%, 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.
