What color is Benjamin Moore Rich Cream?
Benjamin Moore Rich Cream 2153-60 is a light, buttery cream with a clear warm yellow-beige cast. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the softness in the color prevents it from reading as stark white. In daylight, Rich Cream can appear airy and lightly sun-warmed; under incandescent lighting, its golden notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle alternative to white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or muted terracotta accents, and use deeper olive or warm brown tones for contrast.

LRV of Rich Cream
Rich Cream has an LRV of 76.61% 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 76.61%, 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.
