What color is Benjamin Moore White Dove?

Benjamin Moore White Dove is a soft, creamy, off-white paint color. When it comes to white paint colors, White Dove is rather neutral. It is not super warm or cool and it’s not a true white. White Dove OC-17 is also known as White Dove PM-19. What do those numbers even mean? They are there telling you the color collection. So, OC is the Off-White Collection and PM is The Premium Mix Collection. Benjamin Moore White Dove has an LRV of 84.91. That’s high up on the scale, and it’s to be expected because it’s a white paint color. If you forgot what LRV or Light Reflectance Value is, to sum it up it’s a measurement commonly used by design professionals that measures the amount of light reflected from a surface. LRVs range from 0-100, with 100 being pure white and 0 being absolute black. Basically, higher numbers reflect more light and lower numbers do the opposite, they absorb light.

White Dove for living room (57 photos)

White Dove in a living room is that "soft, expensive-looking" white that makes everything else feel more intentional. It's perfect if you have warm details—stone fireplaces, wood floors, leather sofas, or brass/black lighting - because it doesn’t fight them. In these rooms, you can see how it keeps the space airy, but still cozy when the sun hits the walls. If your trim is bright white, White Dove still works - it just reads a touch creamier next to it.

Tip: test it on a few walls first—north light makes it look cooler, while afternoon light brings out the warmth.

Benjamin Moore OC-17 for bathroom (25 photos)

White Dove is that bathroom wall color when you want it to feel bright, but not icy. In these bathrooms, it plays so nicely with warm wood vanities, brass sconces, and soft stone/tile - everything looks a little more finished without trying hard. It's also super forgiving with white subway tile, because it doesn't go stark next to it. If your bathroom gets low natural light, White Dove keeps things creamy and calm instead of turning gray.

Tip: pair it with warm metals (brass/aged gold) and a light oak or walnut vanity for an instant spa vibe.

White Dove for exterior (25 photos)

White Dove on an exterior is the "clean but not blinding" white—more soft and classic than stark. It looks especially good on brick and crisp trim, because it keeps the house bright while still feeling warm. If you want that modern-farmhouse vibe, pair it with black or deep charcoal garage doors, plus black windows for contrast (like in these photos). It also plays nicely with light gray shutters and natural landscaping - boxwoods, mulch, simple planters, all of it.

LRV of White Dove

White Dove has an LRV of 84.91% 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 84.91%, 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.
