What color is Benjamin Moore Porter Ranch Cream?
Benjamin Moore Porter Ranch Cream 148 is a pale, sunlit cream with a clear warm yellow cast and a faint peachy softness. Its high lightness keeps it from reading heavy, while the gentle color gives white walls a warmer, more lived-in alternative. In bright daylight, Porter Ranch Cream can appear airy and buttery; under warmer evening bulbs, its golden notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and softly traditional living spaces, especially alongside natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. Pair it with muted olive greens, warm taupes, or deep brown accents for contrast without making the room feel stark.

LRV of Porter Ranch Cream
Porter Ranch Cream has an LRV of 80.31% 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 80.31%, 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.
