What color is Benjamin Moore Vanilla Ice Cream?
Benjamin Moore Vanilla Ice Cream OC-90 is a pale, creamy off-white with a clear warm cast drawn from its soft yellow-beige base. Its high lightness keeps it looking clean rather than heavy, while the warmth prevents it from reading as stark white. In bright daylight, Vanilla Ice Cream appears lightly sunlit and airy; under warmer bulbs, its buttery undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where white walls need a gentler edge, and it can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair this shade with natural oak, warm brass, linen textiles, or muted clay and olive accents for a grounded palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Vanilla Ice Cream undertones?
Vanilla Ice Cream is a near-white, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. 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 Vanilla Ice Cream
Vanilla Ice Cream has an LRV of 86.77% 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 86.77%, 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.
