Benjamin Moore

Antiquity

OC-107 / 309

Antiquity is a light yellow with warm sunny undertones that keep it from reading as a true neutral. Its LRV of 82.59 places it in the high-reflectance category, so it will bounce a substantial amount of light back into a room and can intensify in strong southern exposure. The yellow cast is mild enough for full-room use but will be more apparent next to a cooler white trim.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee both serve as compatible trim options, and Hale Navy provides a strong tonal contrast on accent surfaces. Saybrook Sage offers a muted green complement nearby.

Antiquity 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.
