Benjamin Moore

Ambiance

309 / OC-107

Ambiance by Benjamin Moore is a light yellow with warm, sunny undertones that keep it from reading as stark or cool. With an LRV of 82.59, it reflects a high amount of light, which makes it functional in hallways, small rooms, or north-facing spaces that need additional brightness. It stays subtle enough to serve as a near-neutral.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White complement it in a tonal off-white scheme, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer a clean, high-contrast pairing for trim or accents.

Ambiance in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
