What color is Benjamin Moore Paper Doll?
Benjamin Moore Paper Doll CSP-485 is a very light, muted off-white with a soft gray-green cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly colorful, while the slight yellow-green influence gives the pale gray base a gentle organic quality. In daylight, Paper Doll can appear clean and airy; under warmer lamps, it may shift toward a softer, lightly warmed neutral. It suits bedrooms, quiet living areas, and ceilings where a bright white would feel too crisp. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and linen or wool textiles in warm ivory and mushroom tones.

LRV of Paper Doll
Paper Doll has an LRV of 79.52% 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 79.52%, 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.
