What color is Benjamin Moore Whitewater Bay?
Benjamin Moore Whitewater Bay OC-70 is a pale off-white with a soft warm cast, reading closer to creamy ivory than crisp white. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on large walls, while the slight rosy-beige influence prevents it from looking stark or bluish. In bright daylight, Whitewater Bay appears light and clean with a gentle warmth; under incandescent lighting, it can take on a fuller creamier look. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and softly lit hallways, especially alongside pale oak, natural linen, warm marble, and brushed brass. Use it on walls or cabinetry when a near-white finish is wanted without the sharper contrast of a pure white.

LRV of Whitewater Bay
Whitewater Bay has an LRV of 84.65% 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 84.65%, 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.
