What color is Benjamin Moore Philadelphia Cream?
Benjamin Moore Philadelphia Cream HC-30 is a light, muted cream with a clearly warm yellow-beige cast. Its soft depth keeps it from reading stark white, giving walls a gently aged, candlelit appearance rather than a crisp modern-white finish. In bright daylight, Philadelphia Cream can look airy and buttery; under warmer bulbs, its golden undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a quiet warm neutral is wanted. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and medium brown woods, or use charcoal and deep olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Philadelphia Cream
Philadelphia Cream has an LRV of 69.12% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 69.12%, 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.
