What color is Benjamin Moore Oyster?
Benjamin Moore Oyster 2115-70 is a very light, low-saturation off-white with a faint rosy-gray cast visible in its #ECE9E8 color value. It reads soft rather than stark, bringing a small amount of warmth to walls without looking creamy or yellow. In bright daylight, Oyster can appear nearly white, while lower or cooler light tends to reveal its subtle gray-pink undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces where a gentle background is preferred over crisp white. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal textiles, or muted stone finishes for a restrained, layered look.

LRV of Oyster
Oyster has an LRV of 80.4% 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 80.4%, 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.
