What color is Benjamin Moore Vapor?

Benjamin Moore Vapor AF-35 is a very light, softly warmed off-white with a muted cream-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly yellow, while the gentle warmth helps it feel less stark than a clean white. In bright daylight, Vapor can appear pale and airy; under warmer bulbs, its creamy undertone becomes more noticeable. It is well suited to living room, bedroom, and hallway walls where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair this color with natural oak, linen, matte black hardware, or deeper taupe and charcoal accents for contrast.

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 81.6%, 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.
