What color is Benjamin Moore White Diamond?
Benjamin Moore White Diamond OC-61 is a very pale near-white with a soft cool gray-green cast visible beneath its clean surface. Its low saturation keeps it light and quiet, while the subtle green note can become more noticeable in shaded rooms or north-facing light. In bright daylight, White Diamond reads closer to a crisp, lightly softened white rather than a distinct pastel. It suits walls and ceilings in kitchens, baths, and open living spaces where a stark white would feel too sharp. Pair it with pale oak, honed marble, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper muted greens for a restrained, layered look.

LRV of White Diamond
White Diamond has an LRV of 83.37% 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 83.37%, 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.
