What color is Benjamin Moore White Rain?
Benjamin Moore White Rain 708 is a light, muted gray-green with a soft cool cast and a gently misted appearance. Its pale value keeps rooms feeling open, while the green-blue undertone gives it more character than a standard off-white. In cooler daylight, White Rain can read slightly silvery and airy; warmer bulbs tend to bring out its quieter green side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and light-filled living areas, especially on full walls or painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of White Rain
White Rain has an LRV of 65.2% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 65.2%, 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.
