What color is Benjamin Moore White Blush?

Benjamin Moore White Blush OC-86 is a pale, warm off-white with a soft creamy cast rather than a crisp, bright-white look. Its light value keeps rooms open and reflective, while the subtle yellow-beige undertone gives it a gentler appearance on walls and ceilings. In sunlit spaces, White Blush can read airy and lightly ivory; under warm evening bulbs, its creaminess becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a stark white would feel too cool. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, muted clay accents, or deeper taupe trim for a grounded palette.

What are Benjamin Moore White Blush undertones?

White Blush is a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-leaning cast rather than a stark, bright-white look. In the supplied digital sample, that warmth is subtle and reads more like a gentle creamy tint than a strong yellow color. Benjamin Moore describes it as having a slight cream undertone, which aligns with its visibly warm off-white character. Warm artificial light may make the creaminess more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to a neutral white.

LRV of White Blush

White Blush has an LRV of 84.74% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?

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 84.74%, 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.
