What color is Benjamin Moore Whirlpool?
Benjamin Moore Whirlpool 1436 is a very light gray with a soft, cool blue-gray cast visible in its #DEE2E3 color value. It reads clean and airy on broad walls, especially in rooms with daylight, where its pale gray character stays clear without looking stark white. In lower or warmer lighting, Whirlpool can appear slightly softer and more neutral. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or quiet living areas with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Its low saturation also makes it a practical backdrop for stronger navy, slate, or deep green furnishings.

LRV of Whirlpool
Whirlpool has an LRV of 74.59% 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 74.59%, 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.
