What color is Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois?
Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois OC-13 is a pale, lightly warmed off-white with a soft creamy cast rather than a stark white appearance. Its subtle yellow-beige undertone keeps the color from feeling cold, while its high lightness allows it to reflect plenty of light on broad walls. In bright daylight, Soft Chamois reads clean and gently ivory; under warm lamps, the creamy side becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and ceilings where a quiet, softened neutral is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm brass, and deeper taupe or muted olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Soft Chamois
Soft Chamois has an LRV of 77.4% 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 77.4%, 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.
