Benjamin Moore

Ancient Ivory

935 / AF-30, OC-133

Benjamin Moore Ancient Ivory is a warm white with slight yellow-green undertones that keep it from reading as stark or cold. With an LRV of 80.45 it reflects a large amount of light, making it practical for full-room applications including ceilings, trim, and walls in smaller spaces. The warmth is subtle enough that it holds up well next to cooler tones.

It works within a Benjamin Moore palette alongside White Dove, Ballet White, and Swiss Coffee for a tonal white scheme, and can be grounded by deeper options like Kendall Charcoal or Palladian Blue.

Ancient Ivory 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.
