What color is Benjamin Moore White Wisp?

Benjamin Moore White Wisp OC-54 is a very light, muted off-white with a soft gray-green cast visible beneath its pale surface. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly colorful, but the slight green influence can make it feel cooler and quieter than a creamy white. In bright daylight, White Wisp may appear nearly white, while lower or indirect light can bring out its gentle grayness. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a crisp white would feel too stark. Pair it with weathered oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, or clean white trim for a restrained, lightly layered look.

What are Benjamin Moore White Wisp undertones?

White Wisp is a very light, low-saturation white that reads close to neutral, with a faint yellow-green direction in the supplied digital sample that is too subtle to define as a firm undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “gently cool white,” which fits its overall clean, lightly cool-leaning white character rather than a strongly blue or gray appearance. In warm artificial light, it may look a little softer and less cool, while cool daylight can make its restrained coolness more noticeable.

LRV of White Wisp

White Wisp has an LRV of 78.4% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of lightWhy LRV is important?

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 78.4%, 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.
