Benjamin Moore

American White

2112-70

American White by Benjamin Moore is a cool, pale gray with an LRV of 74.46, placing it in the high-reflectance range that helps rooms feel open and well-lit. Despite its name, the color reads as a light warm-neutral gray rather than a true white, carrying faint cool undertones that keep it from looking flat. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a clean, modern backdrop is needed.

Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl and Stonington Gray work alongside it for a layered neutral scheme, while Palladian Blue, Wickham Gray, or Kendall Charcoal provide range and contrast.
