What color is Benjamin Moore Snowfall White?

Benjamin Moore Snowfall White OC-118 is a very light off-white with a soft, slightly warm cast rather than a stark blue-white appearance. Its pale value keeps walls bright while taking some of the glare out of an all-white room. In clear daylight, Snowfall White reads clean and lightly softened; under warm bulbs, its subtle creamy-yellow note becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and ceilings where a quiet white is wanted, and it can also give cabinetry a gentle, low-contrast finish. Pair this shade with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, or muted olive and clay accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Snowfall White undertones?

Snowfall White reads as a bright, near-neutral white with very low saturation and a slight yellow-leaning direction in the supplied digital sample. That faint bias is too subtle to support a firm undertone claim from the HEX alone, but it keeps the color from looking strongly blue or gray. Benjamin Moore describes it as a bright white with “a soft touch of warmth,” which aligns with its overall white appearance rather than making it a distinctly creamy white. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle warmth, while cool daylight may make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of Snowfall White

Snowfall White has an LRV of 89.72% 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 89.72%, 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.
