What color is Benjamin Moore Winter Orchard?

Benjamin Moore Winter Orchard 1555 is a pale, muted off-white with a noticeable soft yellow-gray cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy, while the slightly lowered blue value gives it a gentle warmth rather than a crisp, icy look. In bright daylight, Winter Orchard can appear close to a light neutral gray; under warm lamps, its subdued beige-olive undertone becomes more apparent. It suits living room walls, hallways, and bedrooms where a light backdrop is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, or deeper olive and charcoal accents for definition.

What are Benjamin Moore Winter Orchard undertones?

The supplied digital color reads as a light, very muted gray-off-white with only a faint yellowish cast. Benjamin Moore describes Winter Orchard as a cool gray with hints of green, placing that green as a subtle influence within its overall gray character; the supplied screen sample may appear a little warmer by comparison. Because the color is so muted, its slight bias can be hard to separate from surrounding colors and lighting. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its soft yellowed warmth, while cool daylight may make it appear cleaner and grayer.

LRV of Winter Orchard

Winter Orchard has an LRV of 70.26% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why 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 70.26%, 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.
