Benjamin Moore

Ballet White

OC-9 / 974

Ballet White is an off-white with subtle warm undertones that keep it from reading gray. Its LRV of 71.97 reflects a high amount of light, so it reads light but not stark. The warm undertone is more noticeable under incandescent light.

It is suitable for whole-house walls, trim, or cabinets where a soft neutral is needed. Pair it with Edgecomb Gray and Classic Gray for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Manchester Tan for contrast.
