What color is Benjamin Moore Pristine?
Benjamin Moore Pristine OC-75 is a pale, warm off-white with a noticeable creamy beige cast and a soft blush of peach in its #F0E2D2 color value. It has enough warmth to keep white walls from looking stark, especially alongside natural oak, linen, rattan, and light terracotta details. In bright daylight, Pristine reads as a gentle ivory-leaning neutral; under warm evening bulbs, its peach-beige undertones become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining spaces where a lightly colored wall is wanted without the crispness of a true white. Pair this shade with muted clay, mushroom brown, olive green, or deep charcoal for contrast, and use clean white trim only if a subtle warm-white distinction is preferred.

What are Benjamin Moore Pristine undertones?
Pristine is a light, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Pristine
Pristine has an LRV of 75.08% 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 75.08%, 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.
