Benjamin Moore

Adobe White

2166-70

Adobe White is a near-white from Benjamin Moore carrying a faint orange undertone that keeps it from reading stark or cool. With an LRV of 83.82, it reflects a large amount of light, making it functional as a ceiling color, trim shade, or full-wall treatment in most lighting conditions. It leans warm without drifting into yellow territory.

Benjamin Moore Creamsicle or White Blush sit close in tone for a layered neutral scheme, while deeper options like Smoky Ash, Beach Glass, or Polar Sky offer measured contrast.
