What color is Benjamin Moore Standish White?
Benjamin Moore Standish White HC-32 is a light, creamy off-white with a noticeable warm beige-yellow cast. Its soft, sunlit quality keeps it from reading stark, making it especially suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways that need gentle warmth. In bright daylight, Standish White can appear pale and lightly buttery, while lower or warmer artificial light may draw out its beige depth. Pair it with natural oak, warm brass, tan leather, and muted olive or clay accents for a grounded palette. It is best used on walls and trim where a clean white would feel too crisp.

LRV of Standish White
Standish White has an LRV of 69.53% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 69.53%, 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.
