Benjamin Moore

Albany White

944 / OC-36

Albany White from Benjamin Moore is a shaded white with muted green undertones that keep it from reading as a plain cool white. Its LRV of 75.2 means it reflects a good deal of light, so rooms feel open and well-lit. It works in most areas of a house, including bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, where a white with some depth is preferable to a flat bright white.

Simply White or White Dove can be paired on ceilings and trim. For accent contrast, Kendall Charcoal provides definition, and Saybrook Sage reinforces the green cast without overwhelming it.
