What color is Benjamin Moore White Ice?

Benjamin Moore White Ice OC-58 is a very pale off-white with a subtle green-gray cast visible beneath its light surface. Its high brightness keeps rooms looking open, while the restrained undertone prevents it from reading as a stark, pure white. In daylight, White Ice can appear lightly cool and clean; warmer bulbs tend to soften it toward a gentler, muted white. It suits walls and ceilings in kitchens, bedrooms, or living areas, especially alongside pale oak, honed stone, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal accents.

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 83.79%, 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.
