What color is Benjamin Moore Pure White?
Benjamin Moore Pure White OC-64 is a very light, low-saturation white with a faint cool cast visible in its #E5E7E4 color value. The subtle green-gray lean keeps it from reading creamy, while its high lightness gives walls a clean, softly muted appearance. In bright daylight, Pure White can look crisp and airy; under warmer bulbs, it may appear a little gentler without becoming yellow. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and ceilings where a quiet off-white is preferred over a stark white. Pair it with pale woods, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or soft gray-green textiles to echo its restrained undertone.

LRV of Pure White
Pure White has an LRV of 78.94% 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 78.94%, 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.
