What color is Benjamin Moore Polar White?
Benjamin Moore Polar White 2069-70 is an extremely light off-white with a faint cool blue-gray cast visible in its #E8E8EF color value. It reads clean and pale rather than stark, with just enough softness to keep white walls from looking flat. In bright daylight, the subtle blue influence can make the color appear especially crisp, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentle grayness. Use it on walls and ceilings in bathrooms, bedrooms, or contemporary living spaces where a cool, lightly shaded white suits the palette. Polar White pairs well with charcoal accents, brushed nickel, cool marble, pale wood, and muted blue textiles.

LRV of Polar White
Polar White has an LRV of 79.34% 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 79.34%, 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.
