What color is Benjamin Moore Paper White?
Benjamin Moore Paper White OC-55 is a light, muted off-white with a soft gray-green cast visible beneath its pale surface. Its low saturation keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a lightly shaded, paper-like appearance rather than a bright white finish. In cooler daylight, the gray undertone may become more noticeable, while warmer lamps can make the color appear a little softer and creamier by contrast. Use it on walls, ceilings, or built-ins alongside natural oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and warm white trim for a restrained, layered palette.

LRV of Paper White
Paper White has an LRV of 74.41% 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 74.41%, 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.
