What color is Benjamin Moore White Heron?
Benjamin Moore White Heron OC-57 is a very light off-white with a faint softened cast that keeps it from reading as stark, clinical white. Its #F0F1EA value suggests a gentle warmth with a subtle green-leaning freshness, especially beside brighter pure whites. In daylight, White Heron can look clean and lightly airy, while warmer artificial light may draw out its creamier side. It suits whole-room walls, ceilings, and trim when a low-contrast white-on-white look is desired. Pair it with natural oak, pale stone, linen textiles, and muted sage or warm gray accents for a quietly layered interior.

LRV of White Heron
White Heron has an LRV of 86.69% 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 86.69%, 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.
