What color is Benjamin Moore Windswept?
Benjamin Moore Windswept OC-94 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft cream-beige cast. Its pale yellow undertone keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a gentle warmth without looking strongly beige. In daylight, Windswept appears airy and lightly sunlit; under warmer evening bulbs, it can take on a richer ivory look. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens where a clean but softened white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, matte black hardware, or muted sage and dusty blue accents for contrast.

Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Windswept
Windswept has an LRV of 83.76% 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 83.76%, 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.
