What color is Benjamin Moore White Mountains?
Benjamin Moore White Mountains 906 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft creamy beige cast. Its pale yellow-tan undertone keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a gentle warmth without much visible saturation. In bright daylight, White Mountains can appear close to an airy ivory, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out more of its biscuit-like depth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a clean white would feel too sharp, and it can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm gray stone, muted olive, or deeper brown accents for a grounded interior palette.

LRV of White Mountains
White Mountains has an LRV of 80.54% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 80.54%, 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.
