What color is Benjamin Moore Simply White?
Benjamin Moore Simply White OC-117 is a very light off-white with a faint creamy-yellow cast visible in its #F6F6ED color value. It reads brighter and cleaner than a deep ivory, while avoiding the stark blue-gray edge of a pure white. In strong daylight, this shade can appear nearly white; under warmer interior lighting, its soft yellow undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits walls and ceilings in rooms that need a light backdrop, and can also give cabinetry a gentle, softened-white finish. Pair it with pale oak, warm brass, natural linen, or muted green-gray accents for a palette that keeps the warmth in view.

LRV of Simply White
Simply White has an LRV of 89.52% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 89.52%, 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.
