What color is Benjamin Moore White?
Benjamin Moore White OC-151 is a very pale off-white with a lightly muted, near-neutral appearance. Its subtle gray-green lean keeps it from reading like a stark, blue-white paint, while the high lightness gives walls a clean, open look. In bright daylight, White can appear almost pure white; lower or warmer lighting may make its soft shaded quality more noticeable. It suits ceilings, trim, and whole-room walls where a gentle contrast with crisp white finishes is preferred. Pair it with weathered wood, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, or muted green-gray textiles for a quiet, layered palette.

What are Benjamin Moore White undertones?
White OC-151 reads as a very light, low-saturation near-white with an overall clean, neutral character. In the supplied digital sample, any yellow-green direction is so faint that it is not strong enough to support a confident visible undertone call. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “classic, all-purpose white” that creates a clean canvas, which fits its broadly neutral white appearance rather than suggesting a pronounced warm or cool cast. Warm artificial light may make its slight warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear crisper and more neutral.

LRV of White
White has an LRV of 83.56% 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 83.56%, 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.
