Ambrosia

893

Ambrosia is a light, warm off-white with a soft rosy pink undertone that becomes more apparent in north-facing rooms or under cooler light sources. With an LRV of 81.88, it reflects a large amount of light while still carrying enough color to avoid reading as plain white. It works well for full-room coverage in bedrooms or living areas where a faint warmth is wanted without strong color.

Benjamin Moore Ballet White and Soft Chamois sit in a similar tonal range, while Chelsea Gray or Wrought Iron can anchor trim or built-ins against it.

Ambrosia 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.
