What color is Benjamin Moore Sugar Cookie?
Benjamin Moore Sugar Cookie OC-93 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft creamy cast. Its pale yellow-beige undertone keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a gentle warmth in daylight and a slightly richer cream appearance under warm bulbs. Use it in kitchens, bedrooms, or living areas where a clean white would feel too sharp. Sugar Cookie pairs naturally with honey-toned wood, linen upholstery, warm brass, and muted clay or olive accents. It is especially well suited to broad wall surfaces and cabinetry when you want a quiet, light-filled backdrop with noticeable warmth.

What are Benjamin Moore Sugar Cookie undertones?
Sugar Cookie is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Sugar Cookie
Sugar Cookie has an LRV of 85.89% 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 85.89%, 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.
