What color is Benjamin Moore Snow White?

Benjamin Moore Snow White OC-66 is a very pale off-white with a subtle green cast visible in its #F1F5F1 color value. Its high brightness keeps it looking clean and airy, while the slight green influence prevents it from reading as a stark, icy white. In daylight, Snow White can show a faint cool, leafy-gray tint; under warm evening lighting, it will appear softer and more neutral. It is well suited to walls and ceilings in kitchens, bedrooms, or light-filled living areas, especially alongside natural oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, and muted sage or gray-green accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Snow White undertones?

Snow White OC-66 appears to be a very light, low-saturation near-white with an overall cool-neutral character. In the supplied digital sample, the color bias is extremely subtle, so there is not enough visible hue strength to make a confident independent undertone call. Benjamin Moore describes it as a cool white brightened by sharp blue tones, which fits its cool-white character even though the sample itself reads nearly neutral at this lightness. Warm artificial light may soften its cool impression, while cooler daylight can make the white appear crisper and more clearly cool.

LRV of Snow White

Snow White has an LRV of 87.47% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 87.47%, 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.
